Marcus; or the Secret of Sweet
By Tarell Alvin McCraney

Saw Marcus, The Secret of Sweet. I believe that words should always add to. Nevertheless the repeated usage of the word N*gge* didn't add anything to the play. I was taken aback by the part of the play when Marcus was asked to outright suck someone's dick. C'mon really people? This play opens up to the homosexuality of a young man in New Orleans. In my opinion it's raw. It was one of the worst plays I've seen. After intermission, the theatre was only half full b/c people walked out.
