The Last Drop

DC Arts Center
2438 18th Street NW Washington

Western civilization collapses during an economic upheaval and water becomes scarce. Pestilence, violence and war drive people away from the cities. Mary and Joe survive in the sand-dunes, desalinating sea water with a ramshackle stil. They scavenge for insects and random crustaceans. Their love is but a faded memory...like the many comforts of their previous life. Then, invaders arrive. Valentino is a shark of a trader. Esmeralda is his accomplice and whore. One ill fated night in their company tears Mary & Joe apart. Ultimately, hidden truths emerge and Mary finds herself at her wit's end with only one way out.

"...Scena Theatre is renowned for bringing to DC rich new dramatic literature that might not otherwise reach these shores. Six years ago, the company mounted the U.S. premiere of another play by John Shand, Guilt, a work that also wrestles with themes of sex, death, and morals and, like The Last Drop, both entertains and invigorates the mind."

"...If you happen to be in the mood for a "feel-good" rom-com, this play probably isn't going to fit the bill. However, if you're up for a searing, thought-provoking show that will prompt you to ponder several deeply philosophical questions while occasionally laughing at the sheer absurdity of the human condition, then this one is definitely for you. This production is highly recommended."
