Marcus is sixteen and \u201csweet.\u201d 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.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Marcus; or the Secret of Sweet<\/em>, written by Tarell Alvin McCraney and directed by Rosalind Bevan (CFA\u201919), presented by Boston University School of Theatre as part of the 2023 Fringe Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
