In 1950s Pittsburgh, Troy Maxson built fences to protect his family. But what happens when those walls keep dreams out? August Wilson's masterwork—winner of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award—is an explosively funny and heartbreaking portrait of an American family, following a former Negro League baseball star as his dreams collide with his son's aspirations.

“A blockbuster and a major American play.” – New York Daily News

“One of the great characters in American drama. One of the richest experiences I have ever had in the theatre. I wasn't just moved. I was transfixed.” – New York Post
