Two brothers confronting the chasm between them

Childhood friends Kwame and Will reunite in Ghana for the funeral of a loved one, and discover how much has changed since they separated 25 years earlier. Telling their story in a beautiful combination of dialogue and movement, the play is both fiercely personal and curiously abstract. It’s a meditation on grief and diaspora starring playwrights M’Carthy and Cook.

“I was won over by not only the play, but also the production. It has emotional depth, powerful performances, and uses movement to tell the story in a way that we have rarely seen at the Belfry. It’s a story, simply told, of an easy friendship that has somehow gone wrong, and explores the meaning of brotherhood, the power of time, and the weight of the past.” – Michael Shamata, Belfry Artistic Director
