Fences Podcast

Fences

August Wilson's Fences is part of the Pittsburgh Cycle of ten plays that capture the essence of each decade in the 20th century. Although Fences looks at race relations in the 1950s, it is a message that seems to need repeating as we move into the second decade of a new cycle.
