Overview

In 1957, blacks and whites living in the North theoretically enjoyed equality. August Wilson’s Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Fences explores how the reality for black people in America was far different. Part of Wilson’s acclaimed Pittsburgh Cycle, Fences tells the poignant and enormously entertaining story of a father and son in conflict over their identies as black men and hopes for the future. Wilson is ranked among the great American playwrights, and in telling the stories of black Americans, he reveals universal human truths about the struggle for love, dignity, and happiness.
