Join Drama Club Coffee & Books at Merrit Club for a read through of Water by the Spoonful by Quiara Alegría Hudes
This Pulitzer Prize-winning play is a compassionate follow-up to Elliot, a Soldier’s Fugue, itself a Pulitzer Prize finalist play by Quiara Alegría Hudes. Set seven years after we first meet Elliot, this play examines addiction and recovery, family (both biological and found), identity and displacement, the lingering impact of war and the complex nature of online versus real-world communities and human connections. In this play, Elliot has returned from Iraq and is struggling to find his place in the world while living in Philadelphia. Somewhere in a chat room, recovering addicts – including his mother – keep each other alive, hour by hour, day by day. The boundaries of family and community are stretched across continents and cyberspace as birth families splinter and online families collide.
TW: addiction, drugs, alcohol, PTSD
