Aleshea Harris's Is God Is at aredorchid combines spaghetti westerns and Greek and Jacobean tragedy in a story of family revenge and trauma. | ✍️ kerryreid
, now in a local premiere at A Red Orchid Theatre under Marti Gobel’s direction, is more straightforward—but the generational effects of violence are still very much present. Twin sisters Racine and Anaia , burned as children when their estranged father broke into their apartment and set their mother on fire, find out years later that their mom is still alive—barely. When they visit her, she commands them to seek vengeance on her behalf.
And that’s what they do in this disturbing but hypnotic 100-minute play that combines elements of spaghetti westerns, Greek tragedy, and Jacobean revenge dramas. The girls set out to find their father, now living a bougie life in Hollywood with twin sons . Jyreika Guest’s inspired fight choreography on Red Orchid’s small stage and Daniel Etti-Williams’s jarring and haunting sound design are also standouts.
