Fences

August Wilson won a Pulitzer Prize for this moving story of a working-class, African-American King Lear–a big man with bigger demons in the decade before the Civil Rights Movement. Troy Maxson believes prejudice kept him from playing major league baseball. Now he hauls garbage. Embittered by his past, Troy barricades his family against disappointment, and father is pitted against son in a devastating power struggle. Leah C. Gardiner brings her sensitive directorial eye to this family in crisis. (Strong language, mature themes)
