Photos: First look at MTVarts' AUGUST WILSON'S FENCES
Fences will run from April 19 - 21, 2024
This sensational drama tells the tale of Troy Maxson, a former star of the Negro baseball leagues who now works as a garbage man in 1957 Pittsburgh. Excluded as a black man from the major leagues during his prime, Troy’s bitterness takes its toll on his relationships with his wife and his son, who now wants his own chance to play ball. Revived in 2010 starring Denzel Washington in the lead role. Innovative playwright August Wilson gives an unflinching look at the African American experience in the 1950s. Touching, funny, and occasionally brutal.
By August Wilson, Directed by Bruce Jacklin, Cast: Steve Jefferson as Troy Maxson, Kathy Mendenhall as Rose Maxson, Darius Fincher as Cory Maxson, Jonathan Tazewell as Gabriel Maxson, Nigel Salvador as Lyons Maxson, Jo-Anne Odonkor as Raynell Maxson, Harold Yarborough as Bono.
