Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom is a play by August Wilson, part of his Century Cycle chronicling African American life in the 20th century. Set in a Chicago recording studio in 1927, it explores tensions between the legendary blues singer Ma Rainey, her ambitious horn player Levee, and the exploitation of Black musicians by white-owned record labels. The Broadway production at the Cort Theatre opened on October 11, 1984, directed by Lloyd Richards, with Theresa Merritt as Ma Rainey and Charles S. Dutton as Levee. The play received critical acclaim, earning Tony Award nominations and helping establish Wilson as one of America’s foremost playwrights. Its run marked an important moment in bringing African American stories to the Broadway stage.
