Carried Away on the Crest of A Wave
A series of vignettes illustrate the ripple effect of one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history and ponders what happens when the events that bind us together are the same events that tear us apart. The play provides brief glimpses into the lives of a sphinx-like escort, a grieving father, a conflicted priest, brothers of legend, a felonious housewife, an accountant of time, an orphaned boy, a radio shock jock and a man who finds things; each primarily connected by the cataclysmic 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that claimed the lives of over a quarter million people..
