Details

by August Wilson

'It don't always turn out like you think it is. You don't always have the kind of life that you dream about. You know what I mean?'

Jim Becker and his unlicensed drivers take the people of Pittsburgh Hill District where regular taxi cabs won't - healing old wounds and tearing new ones as they pass the time in a condemned taxi rank between pick-ups.

August Wilson's ground-breaking modern classic explores the fragile bond between eight men as they live, love and work in a racially segregated, post-Vietnam America.

Jitney received its British premiere at the National Theatre, London, in 2001, when it won the Olivier Award for Best New Play. This new edition was published alongside the 2021-22 revival by The Old Vic, Headlong and Leeds Playhouse, directed by Tinuke Craig.
