IN THE RED AND BROWN WATER by Tarell Alvin McCraney

Drama: 5f, 5m From the back cover: How far will fast, beautiful Oya go to make a mark in the world? In the Red and Brown Water is the intoxicating story that charts a young girl's thrust into womanhood and her subsequent fall into the murky waters of life. "A work of rare lyricism." --The New York Times "Focused, sharp, powerful... These plays might start out with a breath, but they're good enough to take yours away." --The Oregonian "These are spiritual works that thrum with vitality, whether it's joyous or melancholy, told in vigorous language that artfully folds together slangy vernacular with bursts of haunting poetry." --Variety
