Denzel Washington's 'Fences' brings August Wilson play to non-theater audience
Imagine the scene. You are having a quiet day in your rundown but tidy bungalow in the depressed Hill District in Pittsburgh when the doorbell rings. There stands Denzel Washington, who shakes your hand, apologizes for the inconvenience and says he is going to be practically living on your street for a few weeks while directing and starring in a movie version of the late August Wilson's Pulitzer-winning "Fences."
