My professional aesthetic, my relationship with and interpretation of history, and the manner in which I present African American comportment and culture on stage is shaped by his work. I find the spaces Wilson has engineered in this work capable of being filled by authentic African American cultural rhythms and nuance. Yet, Fences remains perhaps August Wilson’s most accessible play. Maybe it’s the structure, which weaves Wilson’s tale around a single, Lear-like figure who has at once engendered deep understanding, revulsion, and identification from audiences all over the world.
The ensemble you will meet in this production is easily the strongest I’ve had the pleasure of leading. The quality and attention to detail of the designers is, in my estimation, without equal. Please enjoy the fruits of our labor, and experience the “thunder” that is Fences
Mr. Wilson was a member of Penumbra Theatre Company and wrote Malcolm X, a oneman show, expressly for me to perform. I’ve had the honor of bringing several of his characters to life on the stage, including Troy Maxson, Wilson’s flawed hero in Fences.
DIRECTOR NOTES: MR. WILSON AND ME
Fences -
By Lou Bellamy, director My relationship with the Wilson oeuvre is largely due to my friendship with the playwright as well as my role as founding artistic director of Penumbra Theatre Company in Saint Paul, Minnesota. As artistic director, I produced Mr. Wilson’s first professional production—Black Bart and the Sacred Hills in 1982. Penumbra Theatre continues to hold the record for having produced more of his work than any theatre in the world.
