Water

In Water, a journalist is on assignment to interview a painter, SJ, whose work depicts drug use, prostitution and her mother’s suicide. SJ purports that this subject matter comes from her own life, though later admits she has taken these stories from a girl she went to school with. Pinnock was commissioned to write Water as a ‘curtain-raiser’ for a production of Alice Childress’s Wine in the Wilderness at the Kiln Theatre and the plays share similar themes and storylines.
