Trivia: What playwright wrote a 10-play series called “The Pittsburgh Cycle”?
David Mamet
Arthur Miller
Tracy Letts
August Wilson
The correct answer is August Wilson
So why is this answer correct? : August Wilson’s “Pittsburgh Cycle,” also called “The American Century Cycle,” is a collection of 10 plays, each taking place in a different decade of the 20th century. All but one of the plays takes place in Pittsburgh’s Hill District neighborhood, where Wilson grew up, and although there’s no real through line linking the plots of the various plays, there are recurring characters.
