Before Tarell Alvin McCraney co-won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay (shared with director Barry Jenkins) for Moonlight, he made his mark in New York with The Brother/Sister Plays, a trilogy that fused African myth, raw emotion, and contemporary Black life. Two decades later, he revisits one of those works, The Brothers Size, in a new Off-Broadway revival at The Shed, co-directed by McCraney himself and starring Moonlight actor Andre Holland.
