When his frustrations lead to a series of tragic choices, his relationships with his wife and son suffer the consequences.

Set in the 1950s, “Fences” is the sixth installment in “The American Century Cycle,” a series of 10 plays by Wilson that trace the Black experience through 20th century America. Please note: This production contains racially charged language, including racial slurs.
