Gives a critical introduction to "Fences", giving students an overview of the background and context including detailed analysis of the play including its structure, style and characters; analysis of key production issues and choices; and an overview of the performance history from the first performances in 1985 to more recent productions.
Fences represents the decade of the 1950s, and, when it premiered in 1985, it won the Pulitzer Prize. Set during the beginnings of the civil rights movement, it also concerns generational change and renewal, ending with a celebration of the life of its protagonist, even though it takes place at his funeral. Critics and scholars have lauded August Wilson''s work for its universality and its ability, especially in Fences, to transcend racial barriers and this play helped to earn him the titles of "America''s greatest playwright" and "the African American Shakespeare."
