All-star cast anchors 'Fences' at Alabama Shakespeare Festival
Troy Maxson's life was surrounded by fences — barriers his talents as a gifted Negro League baseball player couldn't overcome. His dreams of joining the majors became just dreams, and life in 1950s Pittsburgh made him a sanitation worker. Audiences will meet Maxson in August Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning modern classic "Fences," performing now through Nov. 15 on Alabama Shakespeare Festival's Octagon Stage. The story shows Maxson build a fence around his home to keep his family together, through anguish over shattered dreams may tear them apart. Wilson, who passed in 2005 at age 60, is known as "Theatre’s Poet of Black America." “August Wilson stands among the most important American playwrights of the 20th century,” said ASF Artistic Director Quin Gresham. “What makes Wilson’s work endure is its profound humanity. His characters are never simply representatives of an era or an idea. They are complicated, vivid and deeply recognizable people, carrying their hopes, wounds, humor, contradictions and dreams.” Alabama Shakespeare Festival is joined by two other Southern theatre companies − Theatrical Outfit and Dominion Entertainment Group − in bringing "Fences" to two states. It is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French Inc.
