Description
Fences is a powerful drama about a man who never got to live his dream. In 1957 Pittsburgh, Troy Maxson works as a garbage collector, but his bitterness and sense of injustice simmer just below the surface.
His relationships with his wife and son are strained, particularly when his son wants to pursue a career in baseball, something that was denied to him due to the colour of his skin. This tense drama explores the complexities of family life, identity and the American Dream.
A gripping portrayal of one man's struggles, Fences is a thought-provoking play that has resonated with audiences for decades.
