After a hurricane passes, a home can become lifeless and still: no running water, electricity gone, groceries rotting in the fridge. In Gina Femia’s story, two unforgettable and broken sisters are forced to deal with one another against this nightmarish backdrop. The play charges wildly right out of the gate, and does not relent. And just when you find yourself siding with one of the women, Femia whipsaws you in another direction with beautifully timed revelations. My heart hurt for both of them, and then it swelled and leapt into my mouth at the end. Incredible work.
