Inheritance -or- Brothers from the Deep

It's very late. What are Marcus and Bentley doing fishing in weather like this? You know those two, they've been through a lot. That storm is bringing a lot more to the surface than just the fish. Inheritance -or- Brothers from the Deep is a play about family, tradition, and the things we hold on to.

Inheritance -or- Brothers from the Deep

    An excellent two-hander with moments of deep silence and fast paced action. How many topics can these guys avoid before they break? Fun magical realism as a bonus.

    What an epic yet intimate play about brotherhood and letting go of past wounds. The dialogue flies in this play. You really get to know these characters as much as what is unsaid as what is actually uttered. You get to know so much history between these two characters in between their cigarettes, drinks and bullshitting. I need to see the battle towards the end of this play fully produced. So much to work with for actors, director and designers.

    A modern day folk tale. This script is such a lovely blend of ambiguity, surrealism, and deep family traumas that throughout audiences feel incredibly close and wildly distant from the two brothers in question. Jones knows how to write silence, and for those who have seen genuine silence onstage you get what I mean here. Jones draws the audience in, so that watching these brothers find each other again feels like a communal affair. All timer for sure. I give this script Five Big Booms.
