By The Water
A play about Hurricane Sandy
by Gary Wien
The images of devastation
caused by Hurricane Sandy
will never be forgotten by
those whose towns were ravaged. Sharyn Rothstein’s play,
By the Water, begins with that
image up close and personal.
The audience meets the Murphy family whose Staten Island

home has been destroyed and
who has to choose between
agreeing to the government’s
buyout program or ruining the
chance for government assistance for their neighbors. In
their town, everybody has to
be part of the buyout program
or no one will be.
