"Fences" is a play written by August Wilson that was first performed in 1985. The play is set in the 1950s and follows the life of Troy Maxson, a former Negro League baseball player who now works as a garbage collector in Pittsburgh. The title of the play refers to the literal fence that Troy is building around his house, but also serves as a metaphor for the barriers and obstacles that Troy faces in his life.
Throughout the play, Troy struggles with his past, his relationships with his family, and his own sense of identity. He is a complex and flawed character who is both charismatic and deeply flawed. The play explores themes of race, family, responsibility, and the American Dream.
"Fences" won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1987 and was later adapted into a film in 2016, directed by and starring Denzel Washington. The play is considered one of August Wilson's masterpieces and is often performed in theaters around the world.
