Five Star Gift Ideas

If your dad is a fan of August Wilson's plays, here are a few gift ideas that you might consider:

1. A collection of August Wilson's plays: You can buy him a boxed set of all ten of Wilson's plays, including Fences, The Piano Lesson, and Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. This will allow him to read and re-read all of his favorite plays at his own pace.

2. A biography of August Wilson: Consider buying him a book that delves into the life and career of August Wilson. There are several biographies available, including August Wilson: A Biography by Christopher Bigsby and The Art of August Wilson by Peggy Prenshaw.

3. Tickets to see an August Wilson play: Keeping in mind the pandemic, you can consider gifting him a virtual ticket to a streamed play.

4. Framed August Wilson Artwork: You can always find a beautiful art print online that features a quote, image or tribute to August Wilson and get it framed.

5. Tie a Personal Touch: If you still want to do something more unique, consider taking your dad on a trip as an homage to his plays, a t-shirt with his favourite quotation from a play, a painting, or any other unique tied that comes to mind.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.

“I wanted a keepsake to give to my father for his birthday as he has terminal cancer. He was delighted by his gift. The process of ordering was easy and delivery was prompt. A great gift idea.”
