    Description of Fences (Pittsburgh Cycle set in 1957)

    Drama / 5m, 2f / 1 Set Winner of the New York Drama Critic’s and Tony Awards as well as the Pulitzer Prize, this sensational drama starred James Earl Jones as Troy Maxson, a former star of the Negro baseball leagues who now works as a garbage man in 1957 Pittsburgh. Excluded as a Negro from the major leagues during his prime, Troy’s bitterness takes it’s toll on his relationships with both his wife and son who now wants his own chance to play. "One of the great characters in American drama."
    August Wilson
