Overview

Bespoke Plays is excited to present a workshop of Mimi Collins’ Water Party.

In a future where birth control is in the water supply, couples who want to have a baby undergo a rigorous application, processed by The Bureau’s infallible algorithm. When a couple is approved, they receive a year’s supply of clean water. It is customary to throw a Water Party to celebrate. This is the story of one such party.
