A LITTLE ABOUT THE PLAY
An isolated island community, a two-lane highway, an all-night gas station, and a crime scene on a deserted beach. The residents of Ivy Dunes are used to disappearing acts—with each hurricane, a little more of their narrow barrier island washes away. But when a young woman’s disappearance leads to a gruesome discovery, the police descend, the ocean encroaches, and the residents of this barrier island community struggle to find their footing in the ever-shifting landscape.
Receiving its world premiere at The Wild Project in New York City this November, Barrier Islands is a new play about the tangled intersections between men and women; sex and violence; desire and repulsion.
