Quiara Alegría Hudes

“If you want evidence that American playwriting is in very good hands, you need look no further.” Bloomberg News

“Almost all the characters in this moving collage of lives in crisis have a grim history and yet Water by the Spoonful gives off a shimmering, sustaining warmth. Ms. Hudes writes with such empathy and vibrant humor that regeneration and renewal always seem to be just around the corner.” New York Times

Zabryna Guevara and Armando Riesco, directed by Davis McCallum.

“Fluid, authentic, deeply affecting. A work that is as dramatically gripping as it is politically resonant. The characters in Water by the Spoonful earn our empathy not because of their spotless goodness but because of their muddling imperfect humanity.” LA Times

Bill Hecht and Liza Colon-Zayas

“Hudes is a writer of enormous empathic gifts, her dialogue is lean and funny, and she knows these people in their bones.” Time Out New York

Liza Colon-Zayas, Sue Jean Kim, and Frankie Faison

“Beautifully resounding drama. The playwright splashes together droplets of life’s bleak realities, harsh revelations, fragile successes and modest triumphs. A rich, brilliant montage of American urban life that is as dazzling to watch as it is difficult to look away from.” Associated Press

“A punch in the gut. Hudes gives it to us raw. What’s riveting is the savagery, the affection, the honesty, the sarcasm and the generosity of the characters, and the depth of their yearning to connect.” The Oregonian
