Holy crap! Tarell Alvin McCraney, author of the Brother/Sister Plays, is absolutely incredible! I read his bio and thought, am I the last person to the table?? How come I’ve never heard of this guy until now?? In his artist statement about the Brother/Sister Plays, he talks about how he gives a voice to part of America that gets ignored and swept under the rug; so, why is he such a hit in London? Young Vic and Royal Court runs of his shows, London Evening Standard award for Most Promising Playwright, Royal Shakespeare Company international writer in residence?! Why is he such a hit there and not here?? Once again, the Brits are ahead of us.
