“Denzel Washington breathes fiery new life into one of August Wilson's most popular plays. While some scenes can play like an episode of Jerry Springer — complete with hooting and hollering from the audience — there's no denying the sheer power of the words, especially when delivered from such a seasoned cast that includes Wilson veterans Viola Davis and Stephen McKinley Henderson. Director Kenny Leon's simple backyard staging serves the show well while keeping the play moving forward at a thrilling pace.”

Fences says:
Two-time Academy Award® winner DENZEL WASHINGTON returns to Broadway, alongside Academy Award nominee and Tony Award® winner VIOLA DAVIS, in AUGUST WILSON's Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Acclaimed director KENNY LEON helms this strictly limited engagement. Both a monumental drama and an intimate family portrait, FENCES tells the story of Troy Maxson, a man torn between the glory of his past and the uncertainty of his future. Emboldened by pride and embittered by sacrifice, Troy is determined to make life better for future generations, even as he struggles to embrace the dreams of his own son.
