TONY AWARD AND 1987 PULITZER PRIZE WINNING DRAMA
Set in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the play focuses on Troy, a 53-year-old working class head of house who struggles with providing for his family. He lives with his wife, Rose, and his teenage son, Cory. In his younger days Troy was an excellent baseball player and even played in the Negro Leagues, but that was before the color barrier in Major League Baseball had been broken. Fences explores the evolving challenge of a family attempting to build a safe home in the racially stratified 1950s suburban America.
