The Mighty Gents
by Richard Wesley

"This arresting, moving play tells the story of a black youth gang, once proud and hopeful, now shabby and filled with despair. ”This harrowing and unforgettable drama marks the Broadway debut of one of America's finest young playwrights.“ —Cue Magazine. ”A fascinating play…It knows no color—it is just about people who have seen the dawn go down like sunset.“ —New York Post. ”…a playwright of sensitivity and with insights into humankind that transcend color.“ —New York Daily News. ”…a vivid and sobering drama, passionately written and eloquently acted."
