The 27-year-old actor-playwright from Miami made his London debut last
year, and is back this autumn at the Young Vic with the same play, The
Brothers Size, as well as a second in his "Brother/Sister" trilogy, In
the Red and Brown Water, before taking a third to the Royal Court
Theatre.
While the first of these plays is a sparse, intense fraternal drama
drawing on hip-hop rhythms and west African mythology, the second is a
coming-of-age story, and the third... well, the third will transform
the Royal Court into a drag queen's boudoir as its Christmas show, Wig
Out!, McCraney's exploration of gender-bending, which also opened in
New York last week.
