Fences never did get made into a movie (though Wilson has written a new script, and producer Scott Rudin is trying to bring it to the screen). But that kind of principled pigheadedness seems perfectly in character for a man who has spent two decades of his creative life on a single mission: a cycle of 10 linked plays, each representing one decade in the black experience in 20th century America.

The pair inserted some nice adlibs into the script. Upon being presented with a quilt at one stop, Charles asked, "Is it king-size or queen-size?" Explaining his resistance to jet lag, he noted, "It's all in the breeding, you know." When Clint Eastwood said lightly that Diana was too old for him, as they danced...
