“To August Wilson With Love”: Fences Review

by Stephane Dunn | @DrStephaneDunn | NewBlackMan (in Exile)

‘In that deceptively simple summation of his approach to directing Fences,
Mr. Washington treats Wilson’s work reverently and wisely, knowing and
understanding intimately the treasure in Wilson’s writing, the bluesy
tragicomedy, his masterful lyrical ear for the signifying, vernacular
voices of African American people, and his deft touch at creating
layered, generational and historical conflict, compelling characters,
and weighty stories.’
