August Wilson’s Fences
1363 Old Globe Way, San Diego, 92101
Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning Fences is a cornerstone of August Wilson’s The American Century Cycle, and a powerful exploration of fatherhood, identity, and legacy. Set in 1957, the play follows Troy Maxson, a former Negro League baseball star, now a sanitation worker. Grappling with the burden of his broken dreams, Troy struggles to assert control over his family and his future. Director and Old Globe favorite Delicia Turner Sonnenberg (Deceived, Trouble in Mind), helms this deeply human portrait of a family’s love and resilience. August Wilson’s Fences is a must-see event that resonates as deeply today as it did when it first took the stage.
