August Wilson's FENCES
Written by August Wilson
Winner of multiple Tony Awards, August Wilson's powerful play delves into the African American experience of the 1950s. Set in Pittsburgh's Hill District, "Fences" chronicles the life of Troy Maxson, a 53-year-old man grappling with the harsh realities of post-slavery America, where civil rights progress remains elusive. Once a promising baseball talent thwarted by racial barriers, Troy now toils as a garbage collector, struggling to provide for his family. His thwarted dreams and simmering frustrations ignite a tumultuous journey, testing the bonds of his relationships and the limits of his endurance. With poignant insight and searing honesty, "Fences" offers a compelling exploration of one man's resilience in the face of systemic injustice.
