Information on the play:
August Wilson's: Fences, Set in the 1950s, is the sixth in Wilson's ten-part Play Cycle. Like all of the plays, Fences explores the evolving African-American experience and examines race relations,among other themes. The play won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play.
The protagonist, Troy Maxson is a restless trash-collector and former baseball athlete. Though deeply flawed, he represents the struggle for justice and fair treatment during the 1950s. Troy also represents human nature's reluctance to recognize and accept social change. In the playwright's setting description, symbols connected to his character can be found: the house, the incomplete fence, the porch, and the makeshift baseball tied to a tree branch.
