Samuel J. and K.
Samuel J. and K.
"Samuel J. and K. scores big points as a different kind of play … we see the strained, uncomfortable relationship between the two brothers who carry sibling rivalry to excess … details of their individual lives are revealed only when they can be used as weapons to throw the other brother off his game." —Berkshire on Stage

"The love siblings share … [is] the main issue in Smart's impressive new play … What comes between the brothers is an issue that has divided siblings for centuries. But the playwright manages to make the conflict seem as if it's happening for the first time." —The Star-Ledger
Drama. By Mat Smart.

Cast: 2m. Samuel J. surprises his adopted brother, Samuel K., with a trip back to his birth country of Cameroon for college graduation, but Samuel K. has no desire to face a place and a past that abandoned him. Samuel J. and K. challenges the traditional definitions of family and asks if a place we've only imagined can become home overnight. Flexible set. Approximate running time: 90 minutes.
