17 - The Brothers Size by Tarell Alvin McCraney
May 27, 2021 Season 1 Episode 18
Nancy Netherwood & Sam Webber

This is the second in McCraney's 'Brother Sister Plays' trilogy, though is the first one he wrote. Drawing on Yoruba cosmology transposed into present day Louisiana, The Brothers Size is a poetic yet brutally grounded story of two brothers trying to reconnect after one returns from a stint in prison. Emotions abound.
