Director Chuck Smith leans into the darkness of August Wilson’s drama, set in a boarding house in the early 20th century.
A.C. Smith and Kylah Renee Jones in “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone” at the Goodman Theatre. In August Wilson’s “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone,” the most mystical of Wilson’s 10 great American plays, everyone is lost and yet hoping to be found.
In this play above all others, Wilson articulated his belief that the ripping asunder of the Black family under slavery was the defining sin of the 20th century, rippling across each and every decade. Wilson tried on different dramatic styles throughout his opus.
Smith is a large man and a deeply experienced purveyor of Wilsonian wisdom . He’s an actor who understands how his characters invariably suffer from great stress and how the world for this soul is such that he can’t trust or ever relax. Thus, Smith’s head spins, jolts and turns with every unexpected sound, terrified at what they may foretell for Loomis and his broken family.
