The legend of John Henry, the only African American tall tale character, is not just a myth — he was a real man and the truth of his story is rooted in the dawn of a new nation and the American machine age. His legacy, left to us in song, tells of the mighty railroad man who races a steam drill until his heart bursts, leaving his fabled hammer to his great love, Polly Ann.
The play melds the language of mechanics, century old ballads and primary historical records to explore the legend. A diverse team of artists joins forces with theater making company and takes place at the August Wilson Center.
Tickets are $31.75 in advance, $36.75 at the door. Find out more
