NEW YORK — “The playwright Samm-Art Williams passed away recently,” the sonorous sound designer Justin Ellington says in a recorded announcement before director Kenny Leon’s new production of “Home” on Broadway. “Peacefully, at the age of 78.”
“Home,” a play that should be much better known, is a small work about an ordinary, rural man’s struggles in an unforgiving and often inhuman world, but is also a simple, sweet drama about the pull of the land and an old sweetheart. Williams has no other named characters, just Woman One and Woman Two , who play all of the other figures in his life, male and female. At times, Woman One morphs into Pattie Mae Wells, Cephus’ first girlfriend and a woman who never leaves either his sensual dreams or his everyday consciousness.
