Ma Rainey's Black Bottom
A play by August Wilson (one of my alltime favorite playwrights)
I just read this play and I highly recommend it. It takes place in a recording studio in Chicago, 1927. The characters are blues musicians, legendary blues singer Ma Rainey, the white record company owner and Rainey's white manager. It is a "riveting" portrayal of racial and artistic exploitation. And a very quick read!
