The Dry Line

A one-act drama that explores the expectations, obligations, and limitations of love. Who defines them? Who enforces them? What are their consequences? What are the bonds we choose to accept even when we no longer have to?

When a tornado warning forces two women, Mimi and Tabitha, to shelter in a suburban basement, they are forced to confront some long-buried issues – they are the first and second wives of the same man – and one very pressing one – that man is upstairs, unprotected from the tornado, and the women are not capable of bringing him downstairs with them.
