August Wilson

In his work, August Wilson depicted the struggles of Black Americans with uncommon lyrical richness, theatrical density and emotional heft, in plays that give vivid voices to people on the frayed margins of life. -The New York Times In the powerful, stunning dramatic work that won August Wilson his first Pulitzer prize, Troy Maxson has gone through life in a country where to be proud and black was to face pressures that could crush a man, body and soul. But the 1950s are yielding to the new spirit of liberation in the 1960s. It's a spirit that is making him stranger, angry and afraid, in a world he never knew and to a wife and son he understands less and less. Fences leaves no doubt that Mr. Wilson is a major writer, combining a poet's ear for vernacular with a robust sense of humor, a sure sense for crackling dramatic incident, and a passionate commitment to a great subject. -The New York Times A blockbuster piece of theatre, a major American play. - New York Daily News.
