A lot has been written elsewhere about In the Red and Brown Water elsewhere, so we went to see it this past Wednesday night. This play is now playing in extended session at Studio J off of Logan's Circle on 14th and P. The theatre is a cool renovated modern building, with the small intimate stage being in the round. I found the experience enlightening and eye opening as to the variety and possibilities of live theatre. Specifically, with little in the way of props, Tarell McCraney (whose own story is also very compelling) manages a to weave a story through a complex layering of dialogue, hip hop, rhythm, and verbalized stage directions that is unique in my experience of the theatre.
I look forward to exploring the theatre options of DC and continuing to witness directors push the envelope of what is possible.
