Broadway Rewind: Denzel Washington and Viola Davis Bring FENCES to Broadway in 2010
.
As Broadway remains dark, BroadwayWorld wants to make sure that you still get your theatre fix each and every day until it's back. In our daily series Broadway Rewind, we're uncovering footage from the depths of our archives so that you can relive magical moments of Broadway past!
Today we rewind to 2010 for the first Broadway revival of Fences, starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis. The revival played at the Cort Theatre for 88 performances and won three Tony Awards- two of which went to its leading actors. The August Wilson classic is the sixth in Wilson's ten-part "Pittsburgh Cycle". Like all of the "Pittsburgh" plays, Fences explores the evolving African American experience and examines race relations, among other themes.
