Drama: August Wilson – American Master
Really read this play. Watch clips on YouTube. Read analysis. Then….. Explore:
FENCES; Historical context: Why is the play set in 1957? Why does August Wilson provide the narrative description “The Play” at he beginning. What does he mean? This is highly unusual to provide a prose-poem type introduction to a dramatic work. This was obviously meant to be read. By who or whom? Why the description of Europeans and Africans? What are the main issues in Fences? Race a major component or incidental? What themes does Wilson use that transcend race and are universal? Is the depiction of the American blacks in Fences representative, authentic, and realistic? Stereotyped? Maudlin? Can another ethnic group be substituted for the blacks in Fences? What is the initial theme or event that begins Fences? Will it be constant throughout the play? What is the main metaphor in the play? What additional metaphors and symbols work in the play. Is anger central to the play? Whose? Why sports? Is the writing consistent, even, and balanced? Is it weighted correctly? Is it a Tragedy? Is it a Comedy? Is it Pessimistic? Is it Optimistic? What is the average playgoer left with when the lights go down and then up to applause and then he/she leaves and goes home? Does August Wilson present challenges to received or perceived notions of race, gender, and class. How about family roles and responsibilities? What is the central conflict of the play? What additional conflicts develop? Why is The Past important in Fences? Are characters shaped by personality, external pressures and conflicts, society, crushing realities? Where does the white world begin and end in this play. What about the black world? Troy as father … but what about Troy as son ? Relationship between Troy and Rose. Relationship between Troy and Cory. Relationship between Troy and Lyons. Relationship between Troy and Gabriel. Relationship between Troy and Bono. Relationship between Rose and Cory/Lyons/Gabriel/Bono. Other relationships. Explore the literal and the figurative meaning of the building of the fence. Why does it take so long to build. Where aside from the obvious suggestion does the fence make a surprise appearance at the climax of the play? What about: autonomy, conformity, dependence, and independence. What about Poetry?!! What about song. What about sports and music and what they have in common in Fences? Sympathy: for which characters? All? (The answer here should clearly be “Yes” or else you haven’t really read or understood the play…) Survival. Integration and mixed child marriages. Which character or characters are victims? Who gets redeemed or saved by the end? Actions and consequences: Everyone. Character development paired with plot development. Realism of characters as stock types and real people.
