The Brothers Size

Before Tarell Alvin McCraney won a screenplay Oscar for Moonlight, he exploded onto the theater scene with the Brother/Sister plays, a trio of dramas set in Louisiana but inspired by stories from Yoruba mythology. McCraney and Bijan Sheibani now co-direct a revival of the trilogy's middle chapter, which focuses on two brothers with very different approaches to life—one is serious and hardworking, while the other is adventurous and reckless—and the latter brother's troublemaking former prison cellmate. André Holland, a veteran of many McCraney projects, played this third man at the Public Theatre in 2009; at the Shed, he assumes the role of the sensible older sibling, joined by Alani iLongwe and Malcom Mays.
