Wet Dream

One might assume that a play involving two people who awaken in a strange mountaintop house surrounded by water and wearing someone else’s clothing is going to end up treacly -- one of those tales with an exasperating windup involving dead people and Heaven. But when the playwright is Lee Blessing, author of Eleemosynary and A Walk in the Woods, that sort of hackneyed ending seems unlikely.The bonus material in Blessing's A Body of Water -- the story of Moss and Avis, who have no idea how they got where they’ve awakened to find themselves -- involves a stranger in a jogging suit who’s there to accuse them of murdering their own 11-year-old daughter. Did they?
