Description
The 2024 winner of the Yale Drama Series
"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
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.
this dry spell is the seventeenth winner of the Yale Drama Series prize and the second winner chosen by Tony-nominated playwright Jeremy O. Harris.
