August Wilson's Fences
March 19 to April 6, 2019
Spriet Stage
In Pittsburgh in the 1950s, former Negro League baseball star Troy Maxson now supports his family by working as a trash collector. This modern classic from legendary playwright August Wilson sits at the crossroads of cultural change in America, set during the 50s and 60s Civil Rights Movement. With a creative team of Canada's leading theatre artists, you'll see why this is one of the most honoured plays of the American theatre, recently adapted as an Academy Award-winning film starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis.
“A contemporary classic – the play is grounded in gritty realism while sailing into lyrical inspiration at the same time. It leaves me both uplifted and devastated. That’s brilliant writing.” – DENNIS GARNHUM, Artistic Director
