Marcus; or The Secret of Sweet

Written by: Tarell Alvin McCraney • Directed by: Rosalind Bevan • Offered as part of CFA's 2023 Fringe Festival and presented by BU School of Theatre (October 20 - 22, 2023) in Joan & Edgar Booth Theatre. Marcus is sixteen and “sweet.” Days before Hurricane Katrina strikes the projects of Louisiana, Marcus keeps having dreams about a mysterious man and a ton of rain. The currents of his life converge, overflowing into his close-knit community and launching the search for his sexual and personal identity on a cultural landscape infused with mysterious family creeds. The poignant and fiercely humorous coming-of-age story of a young gay man in the South, Marcus is the stirring conclusion of The Brother/Sister Plays.
