Leo K. Theatre

by Robert Schenkkan
Directed by Richard Seyd
January 31 – March 2, 2008
Running Time: Two hours, One intermission

The Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Robert Schenkkan has created a passionate, tender and bittersweet love story. Catherine is a lonely and reclusive widow. Arturo is a Cuban émigré—a gardener who has come to rescue her neglected yard. The hot Texas day turns hotter as these two exiles share a drink and a dance, and tell each other stories to keep the shadows away. By the Waters of Babylon has the power to cleanse the soul.
