This play was written to honour the victims of Hurricane Katrina, especially those who were forced to flee their homes in New Orleans.
Katrina is not just the name of the hurricane that devastatingly swept through the U.S. Golf Coast…it is also the name of a person who has had her share of hurt in the past. Katrina Robinson lost her family, her home and almost her sanity to a society that continues to harbour the concept of racism below the surface of truth and honestly.
She is forced to live in a building that has laid in ruin for many years, but when the water starts to rise in the ‘pond city’, this ruin will serve as a shelter and home for seven additional characters i.e. A husband and his wife, A Social Worker and her soft-hearted sister, Two Ghetto youths (who adds humour to this play through their looting habits) and one Young Christian woman who has survived a lifetime of pain.
These characters will learn that no matter how hard and unbearable life gets…God is able to sustain and keep us and in doing so, He remoulds us into better vessels.
