The Public Theater production of Tarell Alvin McCraney's bayou-set The Brother/Sister Plays Part 1 & Part 2 opens Off-Broadway Nov. 17. The trilogy includes The Brothers Size and Marcus; or the Secret of Sweet, staged by Robert O'Hara, and In The Red and Brown Water, directed by Tina Landau.

The engagement is a co-presentation with New Jersey's McCarter Theatre Center, where the trilogy made its world premiere last spring. The Public Theater engagement runs through Dec. 13.

According to the Public, "Tarell Alvin McCraney's trilogy is a collection of modern-day stories of kinship, love, heartache and coming-of-age centered around an extended family and community in the Bayou."

Here is a look at the production:
