Fences

August Wilson’s bold, explosive drama set in 1950’s Pittsburgh is about the love, strength and complexity of family. Troy Maxson, hardened by the disappointments of his failed dreams to be a great baseball player, blocks his son’s desire to follow the same dream. While the conflict heats up between father and son, Troy and his wife Rose are pushed to redefine their relationship in an effort to preserve this American family. Winner of the 1987 Pulitzer Prize, this drama, infused with humor, friendship and love, explores the power of the ties that bind. Directed by Kenny Leon.
