THE BROTHERS SIZE Reviews

[1 Minute Critic]

1 Minute Critic - 5/5 stars
In the program note for his play The Brothers Size, playwright and co-director Tarell Alvin McCraney reflects on presenting his show nearly two decades after its premiere: “When I wrote the play, the United States had the highest level of incarceration of any ‘developed’ country in the world, and that’s still the case today.”

As in the Oscar-winning Moonlight, McCraney unravels the nuances, vulnerabilities, and shimmering love that shape Black masculinity. In this stellar revival, the performances and production match the writer’s clarity.  Full review HERE.

I saw this tonight and thought it was just excellent. If you’re able to get there in the next few days before it closes, I’d highly recommend it.

Just got out of the matinee.  It was very good, the ending was a bit abrupt for me, and there were a few loose ends?  What was the point of the gay thing? Or the woman who chopped off her part? 
 It looks and feels like a Jamie Lloyd show with no sets or props, just words
