Derek Walcott’s Ti-Jean and His Brothers
presented by Underground Railway Theater and Playwrights’ Theatre at Boston University
February 10 – March 13, 2011, Central Square Theater

Underground Railway Theater and Playwrights’ Theatre at Boston University celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Derek Walcott’s founding of Boston Playwrights’ Theatre and commemorate the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti with a co-production of Walcott’s powerful folk parable, TI-JEAN AND HIS BROTHERS. The production is directed by Megan Sandberg-Zakian.

TI-JEAN AND HIS BROTHERS is poetic and playful, lyrical and epic. A Caribbean family is in crisis. Despite being warned of the “hidden nets of the devil” by their mother, the three brothers, one by one, must confront evil on their own terms. Walcott's tale of creative survival finds a special urgency in this production which is inspired by the culture and history of Haiti, in particular that island's rich musical and visual art traditions.

Throughout the run of TI-JEAN AND HIS BROTHERS, there will be pre-show performances and celebrations of Haitian art and culture, all free with the price of admission. Post-Show Conversations will feature Haitian Scholars, Artists, and Activists. More information will be announced about these programs in the near future. For more information on TI-JEAN AND HIS BROTHERS, the public can call (866) 811-4111 or visit www.centralsquaretheater.org.
