Return to the unforgettable world of playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney in this companion play to The Brothers Size. A young man comes to terms with his identity and his family’s mysterious past in this poetic tale of adolescence, community, and sexuality. The New York Times hails McCraney’s writing as “a new, authentically original vision,” and The San Francisco Chronicle declares Marcus “a luminous, comic and affecting coming-of-age play.”
