Denzel Washington stars in the first Broadway revival of August Wilson's Fences as Troy Maxson, an African-American struggling with racial barriers, betrayal and his own disappointments.
Set in 1950s Pittsburgh, the drama follows Troy Maxson, a former baseball player in the Negro Leagues, now reduced to collecting trash. Troy must deal with his headstrong football-player son, who has a chance to go so much further than he did, and with his wife, who reevaluates their marriage when Troy comes home with the baby he fathered with another woman. Winner of the 1985 Pulitzer Prize for drama.
