Cast of Characters

• MAN: Her husband.

• WOMAN: His wife.

Both characters are erudite and a bit cynical. They are frustrated and have always expected more. They are upwardly mobile and professional. Just not so young anymore.

The Setting
Time: The 3rd day.
Place: The entire action of the play takes place on a rubber raft in the Caribbean ocean.

Synopsis

A man and a woman are stranded in the middle of the ocean. They battle sharks, thirst, starvation and each other. They are burned, delirious and married. Will they survive?

Of Bramm, says Martin Denton of nytheatre.com...“complicated, fascinating work.”

"Bramm creates some very interesting abstractions with his stereotypical characters...bizarre and funny with chucks of truth and sarcasm flying around."
-Richard Hinojosa, nytheatre.com
