The Brothers Size
1363 Old Globe Way, San Diego, 92101
If your brother is your keeper, how does it feel to be kept? Tarell Alvin McCraney's drama explores the entire zodiac of brotherhood. Ogun has watched over younger brother Oshoosi. Sly Elegba wants to sever that bond. As in his In the Red and Brown Water, the playwright shows a remarkable gift for language and dramatic intensity. Brothers has both flashes of brilliance and lulls, where the complex of myth-, dream-, and human-scapes don't quite jibe. Excellent performances by Joshua Elijah Reese (Ogun), Okieriete Onaodowan (Oshoosi), and Antwayn Hopper (Elegba), along with Jonathan Melville Pratt's drums, propel the piece to a stirring conclusion.
Worth a try.
