Show Information

The Brothers Size is a contemporary play written by Tarell Alvin McCraney. It premiered in 2007, with an early developmental production at the Young Vic in London followed by an acclaimed Off-Broadway run at The Public Theater in New York City. The play is an original work that draws on Yoruba mythology of West Africa, with characters named for Yoruba orishas, and it is the second installment of McCraney’s trilogy, “The Brother/Sister Plays.”

The production is a poetic drama incorporating music, movement, and ritualistic storytelling. It is frequently revived by theater companies worldwide, including regional theaters and prominent venues. The show typically runs approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours and is often performed as a single act without an intermission, though the exact structure can vary by production.

The Brothers Size has been produced internationally and across U.S. regional theaters, including productions in the UK and numerous American theaters. It has been lauded for its fusion of Yoruba storytelling tradition, poetry, music, and movement, and helped establish McCraney as one of the most significant American playwrights of his generation. A notable 2024 production at The Shed in New York starred André Holland as Ogun Size, Alani iLongwe as Oshoosi Size, and Malcolm Mays as Elegba.

Story Summary

Set in the present-day fictional bayou community of San Pere, Louisiana, The Brothers Size follows Ogun Size, a hardworking auto mechanic, and his younger brother Oshoosi, who has recently been released from prison. Ogun is steady, responsible, and determined to help his brother find direction, while Oshoosi is restless, searching for freedom, identity, and a way forward.

Their relationship is tested when Elegba, Oshoosi’s charismatic former prison mate, enters the story. Elegba’s influence pulls at Oshoosi’s longing for escape, creating tension between personal freedom and family loyalty. As the brothers struggle to understand each other, the play explores confinement, responsibility, redemption, belonging, and the complicated love that binds families together.

The Brothers Size stands fully on its own and requires no prior familiarity with Yoruba mythology or the other plays in McCraney’s trilogy. Its emotional stakes and themes of brotherhood, sacrifice, and the yearning for liberation land clearly for audiences coming to the story for the first time.

Story Highlights

The Brothers Size is built around emotionally charged scenes and theatrical devices that make its intimate story feel mythic, musical, and immediate.

• The Opening Invocation — The play begins with ritualistic movement and drumming, establishing a Yoruba-rooted theatrical world. This opening signals that the performance is shaped by ceremony, rhythm, and storytelling as much as by dialogue.
• The Dream Sequence — Oshoosi’s inner longing for freedom is rendered through poetry and movement. The moment gives audiences a vivid look inside his struggle to move beyond the confines of his life.
• Try a Little Tenderness — Ogun and Oshoosi share a rare moment of joyful connection by singing together. The sequence stands out because it reveals warmth, memory, and affection beneath the tension between the brothers.
• Elegba’s Temptation — Elegba’s pull on Oshoosi heightens the drama and tests the fragile stability Ogun is trying to protect. His presence gives form to the forces that threaten to separate the brothers.
• The Final Confrontation — The emotional climax between Ogun and Oshoosi brings the play’s central themes into sharp focus. Love, sacrifice, and the painful cost of freedom converge in a powerful closing movement.

The Brothers Size Seating Guide

The Brothers Size is performed by theater companies in regional, Off-Broadway, and prominent theater venues, and productions are frequently staged in the round. Where you sit can shape how closely you experience the play’s movement, spoken stage directions, drumming, and intimate character work.

Best Seats for The Brothers Size

The best seats for The Brothers Size depend on whether you want maximum proximity, a wider view of the staging, or the strongest overall balance.

• Best value: Upper mezzanine and rear orchestra sections — These seats often provide strong sightlines while keeping you close enough to follow the actors’ physical storytelling and spoken stage directions.
• Closest to the stage: Front orchestra sections — Sitting near the stage gives you a more immediate view of the actors’ movement, facial expression, and musical moments.
• Best overall experience: Mid-orchestra and front mezzanine sections — These areas typically offer the clearest balance of proximity and full-stage perspective, especially for productions that emphasize movement or in-the-round staging.
• For groups: Coordinate contiguous seats early, since blocks in popular orchestra and mezzanine sections sell through quickly for high-interest performances and limited runs.

Getting Ready for Show Night

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation makes the full experience run smoothly from arrival through the final bow.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service around the theater can be congested on busy performance nights. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before heading out so you're ready at the door without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard at most theaters. A portable battery pack is worth having, especially if you're combining the show with dinner or other activities.
• Arrive at least 30 minutes before curtain. Theater doors open well before the show begins; arriving early gives you time to find your seats and settle in before the house lights go down — and avoids the disruption of late seating, which many theaters restrict.
• Plan for a 90-minute to 2-hour run with no intermission. The Brothers Size is typically performed as a single act, so plan restroom and concession stops before the performance begins, especially if you are attending with younger theatergoers.
• Know the venue's phone and photography policy. Professional productions ask audiences to silence phones and refrain from recording or photographing during the performance.
• For families and younger theatergoers. The Brothers Size contains mature themes and language and is most appropriate for teen and adult audiences.
