Wet Brain
I saw Wet Brain and lived to tell the tale. A story of one family’s relationship to addiction, the play barrels its way through a tangle of emotional damage in a claustrophobic marathon of anxiety and anger.

The empathy we grew and fostered during COVID relapses—were we the best versions of ourselves during the most difficult times? We revert to this dark ritual that was activated when each of us first ached. “The Age of Bad Choices Seeking Their Consequences. The Comeuppance…”

Everything that could disrupt a day, or a marriage, occurs, and we watch how Johaira and Manuel deal with and react to each situation.
