Brother/Sister Plays at the Joseph Papp Theater

It's rare when a new play moves your heart and mind in so many directions that relates to a believable story based in the Bayou of Louisana during modern day times. The Brother/Sister plays is a trilogy whose foundation is on the acts of love, betrayal and heartache. Tarell Alvin McCraney is the young writer of this trilogy titled,"In the Red and Brown Water" and parts two and three titled,"The Brothers Size" and "Marcus: or the Secret of Sweet". Mr. McCraney is a true wordsmith and collector of befitting songs in the rhythm and blues genre to carry his point across. The language was magical and extraordinary. You sensed that we use this vernacular everyday and just don't know how to put it together into complete sentences. Mr. McCraney has created a spectacular musings of life in the back waters of the Bayou and how words or wording can spin a delightful tale or two. He is also the writer of the acclaim, "Wig Out", which was presented off Broadway in New York City last year. Do run and see this great modern day play and tell your friends when it comes to your town.
