The Brothers Size at Hattiloo Theatre

When Oshoosi is released from prison, his brother Ogun Size (from In the Red and Brown Water), who runs an auto repair shop, decides that Oshoosi should work with him. Their relationship is complicated by the appearance of Elegba (from In the Red and Brown Water), Oshoosi’s best friend from lock-up. Throughout the play Elegba and Ogun vie for Oshoosi’s loyalty: OgunBROTHERS can’t compete with the bond formed by Elegba and Oshoosi in the pen, and as Elegba says to Ogun: “I can’t never be his brother like you his brother.”
