Fences by August Wilson
$20.00
In 1950s Pittsburgh, a former Negro League baseball star lives in the shadow of an unrealized dream. Now a sanitation worker, Troy Maxson’s resentment takes a toll on his wife and son. A poignant and powerful exploration of love, responsibility, and the invisible fences that confine us. This Pulitzer Prize winning play is the sixth show in The Baltimore August Wilson Celebration.
Fences is recommended for mature audiences and includes violence and use of the n-word.
