Description: Caridad Svich’s new play, The Way of the Water, marks the two-year anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon BP
oil spill this April with multiple readings across the U.S. and abroad. “Main Street is honored to be included in this
effort,” remarked Artistic Director Rebecca Greene Udden. “We so admire Caridad and her works and applaud her efforts
with this new project.” MST previously produced the English-language premiere of Ms. Svich’s The House of the Spirits.
The Way of the Water focuses on the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon BP oil spill and its effects on human
health and the environment in the US Gulf region. The play has been made available for local presentations during the
month of April (and selected venues in May) to mark the two-year anniversary of the spill and to raise increased
awareness toward health and environmental concerns. The project is the brainchild of NoPassport theatre alliance &
press, an unincorporated collective dedicated to the advocacy, production and publication of works expressive of cross-
cultural and aesthetic diversity in the arts.
The reading at Main Street will be directed by Rob Kimbro and features Eva De La Cruz (The House of the
Spirits), Jovan Jackson (Richard III), Seán Patrick Judge (Richard III, The Coast of Utopia, The House of the Spirits), Eva
Laporte (Woof), and Jerome Vielman.
