Overview
Set in 1950s Pittsburgh, Fences tells the story of Troy Maxson, a former Negro League baseball player now working as a garbage collector. Wrestling with personal disappointments and systemic racism, Troy’s complex relationship with his family—particularly his son—unfolds in a series of emotionally charged scenes. August Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play is a powerful examination of the African American experience.
