About Fences
Fences at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre is August Wilson’s landmark play, set in 1950s Pittsburgh. Troy Maxson has cheated death once, but the past keeps closing in. At home, the pressure builds as his wife, Rose, tries to hold the family together while their son Cory looks towards a future with more freedom than Troy ever had.

Written by one of America’s most influential 20th-century writers, the play is presented here as a story of ambition for our time.
