At Long Last, August Wilson’s ‘Jitney’ Pulls Into Broadway

The first attempts at playwriting of two of the greats are currently nestled together in neighboring theaters on West 47th Street: At the Barrymore at present is The Present, the latest latter-day rewrite of Platonov, a five-hour, 300-plus-page opus Anton Chekhov dashed off at age 18 and never went back to. Next to it, previewing to open Jan. 19 at the Friedman, is Jitney, a 90-minute play August Wilson wrote in ten days in 1979 and revamped in 1996 after six consecutive Broadway successes.
