I saw Fences at the Huntington with Erik and Alex up from Providence. I was quite impressed with the show. I've liked August Wilson works put on at the Huntington before, but I don't remember the audience gasping three times during a play before. And I gasped once, too -- a rarity for me. And it was just on the simple delivery of surprising and heartbreaking news -- no violence, no screaming, just a devastating statement of fact. Looking forward to the next Huntington show I see next year.
