It is 2016, and it has been 936 days and counting since Flint, Michigan has had clean water. Third-generation General Motors employee Marion finds herself on the cusp of a promotion until her sister begins participating in protests accusing the company of poisoning the water. Forced to confront their past and weigh their limited options for the future, the family finds their tight-knit unit threatened by more than just the toxicity of the water. This powerful new play by Princess Grace Award winner Erika Dickerson-Despenza deconstructs the linear passage of time to ponder the choices we make for the sake of our survival. cullud wattah uses "lyrical prose laced with humor … and lively and warmhearted characters" (New York Times) to honor the people behind the headlines. The play won the 2021 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.
