“In a time of immense political and social upheaval when it feels as though hopelessness is a cloud that hangs heavy over all our interactions, this dry spell hit me like a cleansing rain.”

—Jeremy O. Harris, Award winning American playwright, actor, and screenwriter

After one night together in the desert, Grace uproots their life to chase after Brahm, a person who is slowly becoming a cactus. Not known for having a green thumb, Grace tends to Brahm and the seeds of their own doubt. Can the desert be a place for love to grow, or are they both just waiting for rain? This deeply personal play aims to provide nourishment to those hiding in the shadows and create a space of recognition and magic for all.
