I really enjoyed the play write, "Fences," by August Wilson. While reading the play it kept me captivated the entire time and I had a hard time putting the book down when I had to tend to my kids or make lunch for us. I wonder if this play still gets performed somewhere in the states as I would really enjoy seeing the production. I see that the original cast from the play had James Earl Jones in it of whom I am a huge fan. He has made many great movies and has been the voice of many characters, most notably, Darth Vader from the Star Wars Trilogy.
Since this play was 1 of 10 other play writes that August Wilson wrote which encompassed different decades of the 1900's, constituting his "Century Cycle", it would be interesting to read and/or see the production of the other 9 plays as well.
