Taylore Mahogany Scott s performance in Seven Guitars brings to life Vera Dotson, a woman whose story arose in August Wilson s creative consciousness and caused him to write a completely different play. Seven Guitars originally had an all-male cast. It s a tribute to Wilson s poetry, Scott says, that he so richly endowed Vera with the lived life of a Black woman bearing the burdens of love and loss.
