Is God Is - Soho Rep

“You so mad.
Ain’t you? I wanna step on something for once. See what it feel like. Must feel good.”

Is God Is is a modern myth about twin sisters who sojourn from the Dirty South to the California desert to exact righteous revenge.

Winner of the 2016 Relentless Award, Aleshea Harris collides the ancient, the modern, the tragic, the Spaghetti Western, and Afropunk in this darkly funny and unapologetic world premiere.

Sara Holden, New York Magazine

“a rich, funny, unnerving, exhilarating gold mine”
