Fountain Theatre (Los Angeles, CA)
Fountain Theatre stages this L.A. premiere by Tarell Alvin McCraney, one of the most exciting new voices in contemporary American theater. In the Red and Brown Water tells the story of Oya, a young woman from the Louisiana projects whose path to a promising adulthood comes to a devastating crossroads. Forced to choose between caring for her ailing mother and the athletic scholarship that would transform her life, Oya makes a life-defining decision. McCraney skillfully weaves West African Yoruba mysticism with urban contemporary realism to create an entirely original theatrical work, directed here by the award-winning Shirley Jo Finney.
