Fences, By Eileen J. Morris - 966 Words

â€Å"Fences† is a theater play run at Ensemble Theater located in Houston and it was written by August Wilson and directed by Eileen J. Morris. Fences is the African-American story of a black family trying to settle in the middle of the American Pittsburgh urban area in the 1950s. Wilson made special attention to the details of the time and brought them to the present, in a nice and original every day production. Fences play starts on a Friday, when Troy and Bono go to Troy s house as usual for their weekly drinking and chatting meeting. Troy has asked his boss, the reason why the black employees are not allowed to drive the garbage trucks, they can only to lift the garbage. On the other hand, Bono thinks Troy is cheating on his wife, Rose and he seemed to worry about them, since both are his friends. Troy and Rose s son, Cory, has been recruited by a college football team and Troy does not want him to do so, because he thought that it was a waste of time, since they did hired black players. Troy was in the Negro Leagues, so he never got a chance to play in the Major Leagues since he became too old to play. Fences’ writer August Wilson made a great work combining the type of theater, scenery, audience, acting performance, dynamic of drama, costumes, and lighting in an excellent live production. The â€Å"Ensemble Theater† which held this great theater play, is a very small Regional Theater with a Proscenium Stage or picture frame (also called Fourth Walls).
