Is God Is Tickets

By Aleshea Harris

Co-Directed by Zindzi Okenyo & Shari Sebbens

How far would you go for revenge?

Twin sisters Racine and Anaia bear the scars of their deadbeat dad’s long-ago brutal attack – an act of ruthlessness that left their mother dead. Or so the twins believe ... until they receive a letter, beckoning them to their mama’s bedside. Now that she is actually dying, she has but one task for her daughters: make your daddy dead.

This explosive play is a modern myth about twin sisters on a mission for vengeance, inspired by Spaghetti Westerns, hip-hop and Afropunk. Bold, brash and darkly comic, Is God Is is co-directed by Zindzi Okenyo and Shari Sebbens, whose previous directorial collaboration seven methods of killing kylie jenner sold out seasons around the country.

The breakout hit from US playwright Aleshea Harris, Is God Is has won two distinguished playwriting awards: an American Playwriting Foundation’s Relentless Award, honouring works in pursuit of truth in theatre, and an Obie Award – off-Broadway's highest honour.
