Abstract:
Legendary playwright August Wilson's powerful, stunning dramatic bestseller that won him critical acclaim, including the Tony Award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize. Troy Maxson has gone through life in an America where to be proud and black is to face pressures that could crush a man, body and soul. But a new spirit of liberation is changing the world. Maxson becomes a stranger, angry and afraid, in a world he never knew, to a wife and son he understands less and less. This modern classic deals with the impossibly difficult themes of race in America, set during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s. Denzel Washington adapted the play into an Academy Award-winning film, directing and starring, along with Academy Award and Golden Globe winner Viola Davis.
