Brother/Sister Plays, part 1, opening this weekend at the Portland Playhouse.

Part 1: In the Red and Brown Water

A trilogy of modern–day stories of kinship, love, heartache and coming of age from the winner of the inaugural New York Times Outstanding Playwright Award. The Brother/Sister Plays delve into the world of a Louisiana Bayou housing project, a landscape of hardship and dreams. Influenced by Yoruban mythology, modern dance, and autobiography, and populated with stories of sacrifice, heartache, and laughter, this award-winning trilogy has been hailed as “the greatest piece of writing by an American playwright under 30” (Chicago Tribune)
