Description:

In April of 2010, British Petroleum gave orders to speed up production on its colossal drilling rig, the Deepwater Horizon. Despite the objections of many on the rig, safety measures were ignored or overlooked. On April 20th, the Deepwater Horizon exploded. Eleven men paid the ultimate price, and countless thousands who call the Gulf Coast home found their lives irrevocably altered.

Based on actual interviews and testimony, Leigh Fondakowski has created a chilling and intimate look at the people and ecosystem affected by the incident.

Spill by Leigh Fondakowski. Starring Elisa Bocanegra, Gilbert Glenn Brown, Nicholas Hormann, Travis Johns, Jane Kaczmarek, James Morrison, Darren Richardson, Kate Steele, and Mark Jude Sullivan. Directed by Martin Jarvis.

L.A. Theatre Works' Relativity Series is presented with the generous support of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, bridging science and the arts in the modern world.
