“Marcus; or The Secret of Sweet” may be somewhat about homosexuality in the black community, but it is more a coming-of-age story about relationships, love and betrayal at any age. Although it has a slow start, stay with it because it’s worth it. A good cast does this show justice.

The playwright, Tarell Alvin McCraney, graduated from Yale School of Drama’s playwriting program where he received the Cole Porter Playwriting Award. He also has been nominated for the Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement and won the Alliance Theatre’s Kendeda Graduate Playwriting Competition.

Directed by Karen Robinson, “Marcus; or the Secret of Sweet” runs through April 26 at Actor’s Express.
