Our Fathers, Sons, Lovers and Little Brothers

Handsome Alice and Verb Theatre present a Tarragon production, in association with Black Theatre Workshop, based on the current original production.

Slimm, a seventeen-year-old Black boy in a hoodie, suddenly finds himself in the first moments of his afterlife. He calls out for God. God does not respond. What happens next is a sacred journey through the unknown, as Slimm grapples with the truth of the life he lived and the death he didn’t choose.

Our Fathers, Sons, Lovers and Little Brothers is a protest for all Black life beyond headlines and hashtags, a prayer for all families left behind, and a promise to the community that all Black lives matter.
