No Script: The Podcast | S3 Episode 12: "Fences" by August Wilson

There's nothing quite like August Wilson's Century Cycle. These ten plays, each taking place in a different 20th century decade, are largely set in Pittsburgh's Hill District, where Wilson was raised. This week on No Script, Jackson and Jacob cover the most famous of these plays: "Fences." This mainstay of the American stage (recently adapted into a wildly successful movie starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis) is brilliant, heartbreaking, and absolutely enthralling. Listen in as the guys discuss Wilson's masterpiece.
