Danai Gurira’s Familiar is all about ritual: the Zimbabwean pre-marriage exchange between the groom and the bride’s family, the TV football game that leaves them cheering, the traditional musical instrument Nyasha brings home. Even a snowstorm feels sacred in the world of Familiar. This memorable play is a must-see, a testament to the power of family in all its complex, grounded glory. Highly Recommended.
