Two Trains Running is the centerpiece production of the Goodman’s March/April 2015 citywide August Wilson Celebration curated by Chuck Smith with Constanza Romero, Ron OJ Parson and Dr. Harvey Young. In 2007, Goodman Theatre became the first theater in the world to produce all 10 plays in August Wilson’s “20th Century Cycle,” of which Two Trains Running is a part (the Goodman previously produced this play in 1993, directed by Lloyd Richards). The civil rights movement is sweeping across Pittsburgh’s Hill District in 1969, but the promise of a better tomorrow hasn’t quite reached all of the city’s residents, some of whom gather daily at Memphis’ diner to gossip about the neighborhood, dream about their futures and confront the brutal realities of the present. Now Memphis must decide if he should allow the government to take over his building or sell the property to a ruthless businessman. In one of his most affecting plays, written in 1990, the legendary Wilson explores a time of extraordinary change—and the ordinary people who get left behind.
