FENCES

Fences by August Wilson

            Troy had a passion and love for the sport of baseball. His dream was to play in the Major Leagues but he never got the chance due to racial discrimination early on. As soon as the Major Leagues started accepting black players Troy had gotten too old. His son, Corey, has the same passion for football that Troy once had for baseball and wants to play college ball. However, Troy does not allow Corey to pursue his own dreams because he doesn't want his son to go through the same pain that he had gone through being denied by the Major Leagues even though times have changed. He wants his son to live what he thinks is a normal life and to work a "regular" old job instead of going out of the comfort zone.
