About This Show

The Public Theater in association with The Foundry Theatre presents The Brothers Size, a mythic tale about the undeniable power of brotherhood. Written by Tarell Alvin McCraney, directed by Tea Alagic, with Brian Tyree Henry, Gilbert Owuor, and Elliot Villar.

Playing fast and loose with West African myths, The Brothers Size brings contemporary rhythms together with traditions of ceremonial presentation to tell the modern-day story of the Size brothers – Ogun, an auto mechanic, and Oshoosi, a recent parolee. This breakout hit from the 2007 Under the Radar Festival is an imaginatively fresh new drama, in which the audience is at once the community, the witness and the judge.
