Set in the locker room of a Florida high school, Dry Land is a haunting new play about female friendship and abortion. Written when Spiegel was just twenty-one, it’s a deeply truthful portrait of the fears, hopes and bonds of teenage girls — as gut-wrenching as it is funny.
Ester is a swimmer trying to stay afloat. Amy is curled up on the locker room floor. Dry Land is a play about female intimacy, abortion and resiliency. And, what happens in one high school locker room after everybody’s left.
