Fences won the Pulitzer Prize in 1987. Set in the 1950’s, Fences depicts the painful relationship of Troy Maxson, a former star ballplayer in the Negro Leagues, now reduced to earning a meager living as a garbage man, and his son, a promising athlete who has been offered a college football scholarship. As Troy comes to terms with his own lost dreams, he struggles to hold onto a shred of personal dignity while battling to unite his family.
