Ethics and the Theater: By The Water, by Sharyn Rothstein

Ethics and the Theater will present a play reading of By The Water, by Sharyn Rothstein.

Marty and Mary Murphy have moved back into their beachside Staten Island house, intending to repair the damage done by Hurricane Sandy and resume the life they lived there for decades. They soon find that fixing blasted walls and removing toxic mold is the easy part, accomplished with mere hard work and humor. Reviving the close-knit community they helped build, on the other hand, opens old wounds, pitting neighbor against neighbor and laying bare the fault lines in their own family.

Participate in a discussion of the play’s ethical issues led by Betsy Ungar.

Entry to our 100-year-old building and meeting rooms is available for most wheelchair users with prior arrangements. Please call ahead (212-874-5210 x107) for setup of our portable system and plan to arrive one hour before start time.
