FENCES coming to Broadway


August Wilson's Fences, a play of great resonance (I blogged about it back on Sunday, May 10, 2009), is coming to Broadway on April 14th, starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis.

A Cover Story: Fences

March 28th, 2010
Denzel Washington stars in the first Broadway revival of August Wilson’s Fences, beginning April 14 at the Cort Theatre.

According to production notes, “As he faces off against the racial barrier at work and his own disappointments, Troy also grapples with his son, Cory, over the teenager’s hope for a football scholarship and with his wife, Rose, who confronts Troy over a child he has fathered with another woman.”

The production also features Viola Davis, Chris Chalk, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Russell Hornsby and Mykelti Williamson.

How exciting! 13 weeks only! I wonder if and when (how soon) student rush tickets will be offered. I hope I get to see this one.

P.S. This one is not a musical.
