Brandee Evans Stars in “Black Cypress Bayou” at the Geffen Playhouse

Evans says the first thing that resonated with her about the “Black Cypress Bayou” script was the dialect, because it reminded her of where she grew up. “It felt like when I read Katori Hall’s words,” Evans said. “I remember when I got “P-Valley’s script, I said, ‘It feels like home,’ and that’s what ‘Black Cypress Bayou’ feels like. It feels like home.”
