August Wilson’s towering dramatic masterpiece 'Fences' permanently shattered the commercial stage landscape during its historic 1987 premiere at the 46th Street Theatre, running for an astonishing 525 performances and sweeping the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play. The claustrophobic naturalistic tragedy turns a humble backyard lot in Pittsburgh's Hill District into an absolute psychological sandbox battlefield, tracking patriarch Troy Maxson, starring James Earl Jones.
