About the Play "I Call My Brothers"
Something just happened. A car. An explosion. Amor has an important errand to run. He walks the city streets with his backpack and his cell phone, doing his best to blend in. But what looks normal? This funny, fierce show-down with paranoia takes us on an intense 24-hour journey inside one young man’s head, as the lines between reality and fantasy, criminal and victim, become increasingly unreliable.

To attend the play, purchase discounted tickets here by entering code NYLP1. Talkback discussion is free and open to the public.
