B8 presents OUR NAMES IN WATER
What happens to domestic life when married partners are driven to succeed in the same profession? Set in the pre-social media world, the unexpected return home of an adult son stirs up past regrets while two women from different generations face tough familial opposition when they prioritize their professional lives and creativity. In this reading, acclaimed Bay Area Playwright Susan Sobeloff explores two artistic families' struggle to navigate intimacy, creativity, and success.
