"From Tarell Alvin McCraney, the Academy Award–winning storyteller behind Moonlight, comes a modern-day fable about life after incarceration and the struggles of family, duty, and freedom.

Starring André Holland (Moonlight, Exhibiting Forgiveness) as Ogun Size and featuring Alani iLongwe (Arthur The King) as Oshoosi Size and Malcolm Mays (Snowfall) as Elegba, this new production of The Brothers Size comes on the 20th anniversary of McCraney’s groundbreaking drama.

This intimate, lyrical new production is presented in the round with live music, incorporating the rich storytelling tradition of the Yoruba people of West Africa."
