What's the show about?
Troy Maxson was once a gifted athlete but the big time slipped through his fingers. Now, he struggles through daily life in Pittsburgh. Resentful of a world he believes has thwarted his ambitions at every turn, he takes out his anger on his loyal wife and sports-obsessed son.
Set between the Korean and Vietnam wars, Fences focuses on a family trying to hold itself together and gives a searing account of what happens when a strong man is robbed of his dreams. It's a universal story that will strike a chord in every heart.
Why should I see it?
Following his triumphant rendition of Othello in the West End, Lenny Henry takes on one of the 20th century's most poignant characters. Praise for his performance as Troy Maxson has been universal:

'Lenny Henry triumphs…a performance of simmering power' - Daily Express
