LYRIC REPERTORY’S FENCES IS BRILLIANT, POIGNANT, AND PERFECTLOGAN — If you’ve never seen a live performance of August Wilson’s iconic play Fences, go ASAP see the production by the Lyric Repertory Company in Logan. If you have seen a production of Fences, go see this one at Lyric Repertory Company. If you have seen the film version and think the show does not get any better than Denzel Washington in the role of a lifetime, you should still see this production at the Lyric Repertory Company in Logan. It is that good. Fences is worth the drive, worth the time, and worth the price of the ticket.
I see a lot of theatre. As a teacher, director, and erstwhile critic, mostly I am preoccupied with examining the different production elements, analyzing the director’s vision, and interpreting the overall product. After my first ten minutes in the audience of Fences, I forgot all about those things and was completely engrossed in the story of Troy and Rose and their family. Director Summer Session has crafted a beautiful piece that belongs firmly on any best of the best theatre list anywhere.
