Malibu Stage Company (Malibu, CA)
Set in apartheid South Africa, two biracial brothers grapple with isolation and poverty. Directed by Lou Gossett Jr. and starring A Martinez and Oscar Best, this powerful, two-man play addresses race through familial ties. Brothers Zachariah and Morris live in a one-room shack and share a mother, but different fathers. Morris can pass for white, but dark-skinned Zachariah feels trapped in his job at a whites-only park. Together, they let their imaginations run wild with role-playing games they create within their constrained world. When they start a pen-pal relationship with a white girl, the games take a dangerous and bizarre twist. Gossett stared as Zachariah in New York and brings a special insight to Athol Fugard’s poetic script. After each performance, you are invited to attend a Q&A with the creative team.
