There's nothing quite like August Wilson's Century Cycle. These ten plays, each taking place in a different 20th century decade, are largely set in Pittsburgh's Hill District, where Wilson was raised. This week on No Script, Jackson and Jacob cover the most famous of these plays: "Fences." This mainstay of the American stage (recently adapted into a wildly successful movie starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis) is brilliant, heartbreaking, and absolutely enthralling. Listen in as the guys discuss Wilson's masterpiece.

His play "Lost in Yonkers" breaks his mold of near-farcical plays, instead edging closer to the standard psychological drama of the time. In this episode of No Script, Jackson and Jacob piece apart Simon's family story - especially the worldview of "Grandma."

"Music, finished as no music is ever finished. Displace one note and there would be diminishment. Displace one phrase and the structure would fall." This is one of the descriptions Antonio Salieri gives of Mozart's musical genius in Peter Shaffer's brilliant play "Amadeus." This week on "No Script," Jackson and Jacob take on the highly fictionalized account of Salieri's jealousy . . . and his war against God. Listen in!
