Fences Play by August Wilson (Farsi)

Description

Fences is a Pulitzer Prize-winning play by August Wilson, a defining voice in African American theater and part of his Pittsburgh Cycle. Set in 1950s Pittsburgh, the play combines poetic language with stark realism to explore layered themes of deferred dreams, historical wounds, and the invisible yet tangible fences people build around themselves—sometimes for protection, sometimes for distance. At its center is Troy Maxson, a former Negro League baseball player turned garbage collector, whose past disappointments and accumulated bitterness lead him to erect an emotional barrier that even his loved ones cannot easily penetrate. Through Troy, his wife Rose, sons Cory and Lyons, and friend Bono, Wilson examines the tensions between family loyalty, personal ambition, and the weight of unfulfilled potential, portraying the struggles and resilience of African American life with depth and nuance.
