As time runs out, the drought worsens, and the authorities close in, the net becomes their battleground in their quest for justice, joy, and safety. Misha Levkov's stunning debut weaves the lives of the three women together as intricately as the web they create on stage. Family, protest, and the exhilaration of defiance come together in this thrilling piece.
