The Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Robert Schenkkan has created a passionate, tender and bittersweet love story in By the Waters of Babylon. Catherine is beautiful and outspoken-a recluse with a dark and mysterious past. Arturo, the gardener, was a poet in his native Cuba and has come to rescue her neglected garden. The hot Texas day turns hotter as these two exiles share a drink and a dance, and try to banish the ghosts that haunt them both.
