Denzel Washington and Viola Davis to Star in "Fences" on Broadway

In April, Denzel Washington and Viola Davis will be starring on Broadway in August Wilson's "Fences" at Cort Theater. Viola will play Rose, a woman who, according to the actress, "unknowingly gives up her dreams and her power for love." Denzel will portray her husband, the patriarchal Troy Maxson. Viola also gives us an insight of the play :
"But ... he places all of those struggles (within the context) of African-American men who also are facing the obstacle of race in America, which is a double whammy." She said "Fences," part of Wilson's 10-play cycle about the black experience in 20th-century America, is also about the most basic of human issues: hope, love, dreams, fatherhood and death."
This is definitely a must see for the New Year!!! SOURCE
