Morris The 1950s of August Wilson's Fences can seem like a far-away world, but under the direction of Ricardo C. Morris at the Chattanooga Theatre Centre, the trials of the Maxson family seemed immediate, urgent, and inescapable. William Elston made a stalwart turn as Troy’s wayward son Lyons Maxson; an oversized hat hid his dreadlocks, perhaps belying Lyons’ wariness about his father’s disapproval, yet his steadfast belief in the redeeming power of music leaves us believing his future may be bright after all.
