The picture above is from the recent Broadway revival of Fences.
James Earl Jones played Troy in the original Broadway version.
To start with, here is a link to Oberlin's site for its Death of a Salesman:
The pictures from the production are here:
Below is the video from the BBC production that we watched:
The actor who played Willy in the BBC version also played the character on which Norman Lear based his Archie Bunker.
There is no movie version of Fences, but here are some trailers from various productions:
I'm not sure where this production is from:
Denzel Washington recently played Troy in a Broadway revival of Fences:
Ah, here is a collection of scenes from that version!
Kenny Leon directed another version at Boston's Huntington Theater:
In 2007, Portland (OR) Center Stage presented this version:
This version is a film rather than a play filmed:
The last clip is a classroom version from Introduction to Theater at CUNY Baruch:
Here is a video of Langston Hughes' Soul Gone Home. It was made at Harold Washington College in Chicago.
I will also link to my blog entries on two of August Wilson's other plays from his Century Cycle.
Enjoy!

Thanks for including a clip that included the conversation between Rose and Troy when he comes clean. It was interesting to read, but I think viewing it really helped me to see the dynamic between the characters.
