Gem of the Ocean

Gem of the Ocean is a play by American playwright August Wilson. First produced in 2003, it is the chronological first installment of Wilson's decade-by-decade, ten-play chronicle, The Pittsburgh Cycle. This cycle dramatizes the African-American experience in the twentieth century. Although Gem of the Ocean was the ninth play in the series to be produced, it chronologically begins the narrative cycle, which at the time left only the 1990s unrepresented by a play.
