"Water Pressure" is my third stage play. Like the first two, it was developed with the help of the Playwright Exchange and the Chicago Dramatists. If you like the Audrey Green novels, then this is the play for you. Things happen out of order, scenes repeat, and it generally echoes some familiar themes from the novels (multiple possibilities, personality based on circumstance, friend versus enemy). I intentionally wanted to create something for a different medium in the same style. Since my reputation is growing based on that approach, I thought I'd try adapting here.

Generally, things are way more ambitious in this play that in my first two. "Control Darts" was just a start, a practice run. Although I like it, it is simply staged with few characters. "Two Girls Kissing" is more complex, with many scenes, double the characters, and more energy. "Water Pressure" is the lessons of the first two experiences extrapolated. There are now three acts, eight characters, multiple sets, audience participation, monologues, prop guns, lighting tricks, a longer running time, and one intense mind game of a script. Hopefully audiences will think this is as advanced a leap forward as I do. I certainly found it the most enjoyable to write. We'll see.
