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.
As lines between characters and actors - as well as observers and
observed - blur, a dizzying series of vignettes builds to a
climactic moment in which performance and reality collide,
highlighting the absurdity of anti-Blackness in our society.
Through facilitation and dialogue we must decide how to cope,
resist, and move forward.

'We ain't killers' 'How you figure that?... Iss in the blood.' When
a letter arrives from the mother they thought was dead,
twenty-one-year-old twins Racine and Anaia travel from the Dirty
South to the California desert, to a yellow house with teal
shutters. They're on a mission to avenge her past, and they're
ready to take down anyone who stands in their way. A revenge tale
about two women seeking justice and taking control of their own
narratives, Is God Is collides the ancient and the modern, the
tragic and the Spaghetti Western, hip-hop and Afropunk. Aleshea
Harris's play had its world premiere at Soho Rep., New York, in
February 2018, winning the Relentless Award, and the Obie Award for
Playwriting. It received its British premiere in the Jerwood
Theatre Downstairs at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in September
2021, directed by Ola Ince.
