A play celebrating unlikely heroes and the resilience of the human spirit, whilst mourning lost friends and lost faith.

It’s summer 2005. Maya Marsalis takes you by the hand, sometimes by the throat, and leads you through her landscape the day Hurricane Katrina came, the levées broke, the world watched and the US Government did nothing. Go with her, as she shows you how her world and that of thousands of black American citizens changed forever, the day the waters came.

The Day the Waters Came portrays an event which shook up and reshaped America. First commissioned and produced by Theatre Centre in 2010, the production toured secondary schools and venues in the autumn of that year and went on to tour twice more, once in the spring of 2011 and again in the autumn of 2012.
