For over 30 years, audiences have raved about Fences, August Wilson’s most popular play. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, this sensational drama tells the story of Troy Maxson, a former baseball player who, as a black man, was excluded from the major leagues during his prime. Now working as a garbageman in 1957 Pittsburgh, Troy is a man of immense wisdom, strength, and bitterness, whose overbearing nature builds up emotional “fences” between him and his family, even while he provides for them. A masterful blend of poetry, humor, superstition, and layered symbols, August Wilson’s Fences is one of the richest and most engrossing pieces of American theatre produced in the last century, earning it its place among the greatest plays of all time.
