Sybil and Alison are the kind of friends who can finish each others sentences. But when the two young women trespass on a New Jersey beach after dark one night, their friendship unravels and ultimately self-destructs-- with the help of a pimply lifeguard, a giant frog, a stray asteroid and a deliciously manipulative mermaid. Salt Water is a play about the death of a friendship and the sacrifices we make for the people we love.
Gina Young's fourth play, Salt Water, is currently in development. It received a staged reading at Live Girls! in Seattle, Washington in April 2008.
