Review: Black Western revenge road trip plays on Oakland stage

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:41:34 GMT

Revenge stories are a time-honored subgenre in film, but they’re less common in theater, at least since the heyday of the revenge tragedy in the late 16th and early 17th centuries.Oakland Theater Project’s latest production, “Is God Is,” is more reminiscent of revenge Western and horror flicks than Elizabethan drama, but it’s also lushly poetic and dreamlike, almost mythic in style. The captivating play by Aleshea Harris was an Obie Award-winning 2018 off-Broadway and West End hit, and OTP’s staging is its Bay Area premiere.Twin African American sisters badly burned in a fire as children are summoned to the bedside of the mother whom they thought died in the fire 18 years ago. She tells them her dying wish is for them to find their father, who set the fire on purpose, and kill him and anyone who gets in their way. The twins figure that this mother they never knew must be God, because she made them, so they take this mission as a commandment.Theirs is an epic quest made compellingly ...
