Below is a summary of the book along with a video that I believe will allow the story to come to life in the end. Well thank you once again and take care.
The play begins on payday, with Troy and Bono drinking and talking. (Troy works as a garbage man along with Bono. Rose and Lyons join in the conversation. Lyons, a musician, has come to borrow money from Troy, confident that he will receive it and promises to pay him back because his girlfriend Bonnie just got a job. Troy gives his son a hard time, but eventually gives him the requested ten dollars after Rose persuades him to do so. Later on, an affair between Troy and a woman named Alberta is revealed, followed by the news of her pregnancy. Cory tells Troy and Rose about an opportunity for a college football scholarship. Troy tells Cory he won't let his son play football in fear of racial discrimination. Troy and Cory argue about Troy's actions but Troy stubbornly does not back down from his argument. Troy later on tells Cory's coach that his son is to no longer play football, which leads to a fight resulting in Troy kicking Cory out of his house. Troy gets a call concerning Alberta's pregnancy. She dies during childbirth. Rose agrees to adopt the baby girl, Raynell, and take care of the baby as her own, though she no longer considers herself to be Troy's woman. Seven years later, Troy has died.
