From the co-creator of the Academy Award-winning film “Moonlight” comes a story of family, devotion and belonging. Deep in the Louisiana bayou, the hardworking and steady Ogun Size is reunited with his aimless younger brother recently released from prison. Flights of poetry, music and West African mythology combine in a one-of-a-kind experience that delivers “the greatest piece of writing by an American playwright under 30 in a generation or more” (The Chicago Tribune).
