Description

Set mostly in 1957, a landmark year for the Civil Rights Movement and a time when much of the Black community felt caught between a violent and oppressive past and the possibility of a brighter future, Fences follows the story of Troy Maxson, an African American father and husband who feels a desperate need to provide for his family. Troy is a man with “something to say about everything,” and whose strong opinions and overbearing personality build emotional “fences” between himself and his wife and sons. As Troy struggles to find his purpose in life despite the many obstacles and prejudices that stand in his way, his actions force the members of his family to examine their own lives and their feelings about relationships, self-respect, power, commitment, birth, and death.
