←Recommendations of Sibling Rivalries

Marcus Scott's compelling play "Sibling Rivalries" is fast-paced and heart-in-mouth from the first line to the end. Set in a black fraternity, individual desires and needs artfully clash with loyalty for the group. So much to unpack in this play.

This play completely blew me away. I was struck by the deep dive into the complexities of life in a fraternity. The ‘black experience’ is beautifully told with the intensity, intrigue, and intimacy of a black brotherhood. Loyalty, greed, lust are at play, MARCUS SCOTT uses all-manner of plot, character, dialogue to highlight the ‘politics’ of being young black men. “Sibling Rivalries’ scores an A-Plus in all respects: Powerful, witty, relevant. This play needs to be put onstage. It’s brilliant!

Using Greek life as a backdrop, Scott has crafted an excellent play that explores race and class among college students.

Scott finds a fascinating line between gross-out humor and social commentary in SIBLING RIVALRIES. These boys' exaggerated misadventures are a hilarious train wreck you can't look away from but also represent very real, concrete issues that face not only Black students, but also Black professionals and Black people living in a racist society. Check it out!

In the hilariously naughty SIBLING RIVALRIES, Marcus deconstructs the honors/horrors of the quest for black excellence with a large cast of well-drawn, strikingly specific characters.
