Caridad Svich's The Way of Water at The Lark
Director Jose Zayas
The Way of Water is a play that pits the BP oil spill next to the lives of those affected by it. It's a story about
four people making do as best they can, living their lives, and just trying to stay afloat in the land of many
compromised dreams. It's a play about rumors and truth, what is said and what gets written, about the quest for
an honorable life, poverty in America, and the riddles fate plays on human will.
