2008.1.14. Cold. Hail. Seattle Repertory Theatre, The Breach by Catherine Filloux, Tarell Alvin McCraney & Joe Sutton. Directed by David Esbjornson.
Three separate stories at New Orleans in the time of Katrina: a family on the roof, a man in wheelchair, and a reporter investigating the "rumor" of a levy in a poor black neighborhood. Not very coherent. The man in wheelchair talks to a strange ghost, the reporter talks about big ideas. The author also brings a service man in Iraq, which has nothing to do with Katrina.
