August Wilson's "Fences": A Conversation with The Classic Theatre of San Antonio

In the play, a former African American League baseball player struggles to co-exist with the racial trauma he still carries from his time in the sport. When his frustrations lead to a series of tragic choices, his relationships with his wife and son suffer the consequences. Set in the 1950s, it is the sixth in Wilson’s ten-part “Pittsburgh Cycle”. “Fences” explores the evolving Black American experience and examines race relations, among other themes.
