This sensational drama is the story of Troy Maxson, a former star of the Negro baseball leagues who now works as a garbage man in 1957 Pittsburgh. Excluded as a black man from the major leagues during his prime, Troy's bitterness takes its toll on his relationships with his wife and his son, who now wants his own chance to play ball.  


This play is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.

Content Warning: This play contains strong language, culturally-specific language and some adult situations.
