THE BROTHERS SIZE

About the show

From Academy Award-winner Tarell Alvin McCraney's acclaimed The Brother/Sister Plays, The Brothers Sizereturns to our stage for the first time since its celebrated Chicago 2010 premiere. Ogun Size is hardworking and heartbroken. Oshoosi Size is recently returned home from prison and trying to be anywhere but. In this fierce and honest look at the complex bonds of brotherhood, McCraney weaves together poetry, music and Yoruba mythology to magnify the tug-of-war between freedom and the need to belong somewhere, to something, to someone. Tarell Alvin McCraney is an acclaimed playwright and screenwriter. His script In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blueis the basis for the Oscar-winning film Moonlight directed by Barry Jenkins, for which McCraney and Jenkins won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. In addition to The Brothers Size's ten public performances, Steppenwolf for Young Adults is thrilled to bring this acclaimed work to the stage for young adults across Chicago.
