Fences (Film Screening)

Denzel Washington stars in and directs this powerful drama. Screening in our PictureHouse for Black History Month.

In 1950s Pittsburgh, Troy Maxson (Denzel Washington) once dreamed of becoming a professional baseball player. Nowadays, he’s a sanitation worker with a wife and a teenage son, who dreams of playing football. But Troy remains bitter about the missed opportunities of his past, while at the same time trying to cope with the pressures of being a husband and father.

Denzel Washington and Viola Davis reprise their roles from the award-winning revival of August Wilson’s acclaimed play. Viola Davis went on to win the Oscar in 2017 with this film for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role.

The Garrick is a non-professional organisation that is extremely well regarded for the high quality of our productions; however we rely on the hard work and generosity of our volunteers. Many of our patrons believe that our ticket prices are too low considering our large overheads, the quality of our productions and the overall high standard of the theatrical experience that we provide. We also have a wonderful youth Academy, GAPA which offers theatre stagecraft tuition to over 100 students per term. (We also offer Bursaries so please feel free to enquire).

If you agree and like what you see, then we ask that you support your local Playhouse by kindly donating whatever you can when you book tickets online or at our Box Office. Remember you can also gift aid your kind donation.

Your support will enable the Garrick to grow and thrive. WE ARE MOST GRATEFUL, THANK YOU!
