Review: The Brothers Size

Thu, 02 Jun 2011 14:48:23 PST

The Brothers Size leaves you in no doubt as to why its writer Tarell Alvin McCraney has created a wave of hype. The young, gay man who erupted from the harsh reality of projects in a fairytale like manner of his own, can sure pen a story.

Review: The vivacity and power of Drumdrag
