On the 15th anniversary of one of the largest environmental disasters in history, the Moody Center for the Arts presents the Houston premiere of Spill, a documentary play about the tragedy of the Deepwater Horizon explosion as told by the Gulf Coast residents who lived through it. Written by playwright Leigh Fondakowski, Spill vividly stages the events leading up to the disaster and the long personal and environmental consequences of its aftermath across the Gulf Coast.
On April 20, 2010, a massive explosion ripped through the Deepwater Horizon rig off the coast of Louisiana. The accident left 11 workers dead, many injured, and triggered the largest oil spill in history. Based on hundreds of hours of interviews with those impacted by this tragic event, Spill memorializes how Deepwater Horizon changed lives, the region, and the oil industry. Spill invites audiences to consider the precarious balance of danger and beauty found on the Gulf Coast.
