In Spring 2010, MultiStages produced “Hell and High Water…” by Jamuna Yvette Sirker, Projection Design by Jan Hartley, Choreography by Jennifer Chin, Directed by Artistic Director Lorca Peress at Hudson Guild Theatre. MultiStages was invited to present the play in the Theatre for the New City’s Lower Eastside Festival. How do we choose life in the face of unspeakable horror and neglect?
