POOL (NO WATER)
October 21, 2014 - Nov. 24, 2014
"Full of perceptive commentary on the tension between affection and antipathy among friends and the interior tensions in the individual soul between self-love and self-hate."
- The New York Times
ABOUT THE SHOW
pool (no water) is what happens when you mix creativity, camaraderie, and art with the kind of envy that rarely sees the light of day...
But seriously, what's a little jealousy between friends?
pool (no water) is a visceral play about the fragility of friendship and the jealousy inspired by success. A famous artist invites old friends to her new home for a long awaited reunion. But the celebration comes to an abrupt end when the host suffers a horrific accident. An almost unthinkable plan starts to take shape: could her suffering be the group's next work of art?
