How many plays make us long for grace? Water by the Spoonful by Quiara Hudes is such a rare play; it is a yearning, funny, deeply sad and deeply lyrical piece, a worthy companion to Hudess Elliot, A Soldiers Fugue. The play infects us with the urge to find connection within our families and communities and remains with us long after weve left the theater. Paula Vogel, Pulitzer Prizewinning author of How I Learned to DriveHudess writing is controlled and graceful. Each of the plays 15 short scenes is perfectly balanced, the language both lyrical and lucid. Richard Zoglin, TimeFor a drama peopled by characters who have traveled a long way in the dark, Water by the Spoonful gives off a shimmering, sustaining warmth. Ms. Hudes writes with such empathy and vibrant humor about people helping one another to face down their demons that regeneration and renewal always seem to be just around the corner.Charles Isherwood, New York TimesWinner of the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Water by the Spoonful is a rich, brilliant montage of American urban life that is as dazzling to watch as it is difficult to look away from (Associated Press).Somewhere in Philadelphia, Elliot has returned from Iraq and is struggling to find his place in the world. Somewhere in a chat room, recovering addicts forge an unbreakable bond of support and love. The boundaries of family and community are stretched across continents and cyberspace as birth families splinter and online families collide.Water by the Spoonful is a heartfelt and poetic meditation on lives on the brink of redemption and selfdiscovery during a time of heightened uncertainty, as startling and innovative and human on the page as on the stage (Junot Daz, Pulitzer PrizeWinning author).
