Half a Glass of Water

Nicholas Sturman

Eli has cancer. Whitney has a girl. They share a history, a table, and a conversation.

Can you find redemption and reconciliation in the shadow of a shared history? Does past pain always define us? Eli has cancer. Whitney has a girl. As Eli and Whitney talk, they share their feelings, their history, and their lives. David Ireland’s harrowing two-hander brings to light the beauty and truth in difficult conversations.
