I loved this production which focuses on water, the life blood of any community, and how it can be taken for granted particularly here in Southern California where most of our water is imported and we're in the fourth year of a severe drought. The play is compact and sleek while combining elements of dance and movement to illustrate how the search and scarcity of fresh water have profoundly affected civilizations.

Witty, timely, UNIQUE! Everything I have come to expect from Charline Su & her powerhouse theater company Lovers & Madmen! Miss Su never disappoints!

I loved this show! It's the kind of show I hope to see at the Fringe Festival. A non-linear experience where you sit and let the words and movement wash over you and you take it in...feel it. At times it was hypnotic, then funny, then thought provoking -- always engaging. The performers were wonderful. The singing was gorgeous. I would definitely recommend!! ... full review
