In the Red and Brown Water

In the sweltering heat of Louisiana, Oya dreams of competing alongside star athletes. She never feels so right as when she's burning up the track. As a girl, she must choose between her dream and caring for her mother. As a woman, she's torn between the man she lives with and the man she can't live without. In the Red and Brown Water, the second part of Tarell Alvin McCraney's Brother/Sister trilogy, received its UK premiere at the Young Vic theatre, London, in October 2008.
