Fences

August Wilson's sensational play Fences has won every major award, including Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, New York Drama Critics, Tony and Pulitzer Prizes. Directed by Jennifer Petticolas and performed by the Black Theatre Ensemble, Fences centers around Troy Maxson, a former star of the Negro baseball leagues who is working as a garbage man in 1957. He is very bitter that he was excluded from major league baseball during his prime and was too old to play when the sport finally was integrated. Maxson's son wants a chance at professional sports, but Maxson refuses to let him try his luck.
