The play infects us with the urge to find connection within our families and communities and remains with us long after we've left the theater.\" -Paula Vogel, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of \u003cem\u003eHow I Learned to Drive\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \"Hudes's writing is controlled and graceful. Each of the play's 15 short scenes is perfectly balanced, the language both lyrical and lucid.\" -Richard Zoglin, \u003cem\u003eTime\u003c\/em\u003e  \"For a drama peopled by characters who have traveled a long way in the dark, \u003cem\u003eWater by the Spoonful\u003c\/em\u003e gives off a shimmering, sustaining warmth. Ms. Hudes writes with such empathy and vibrant humor about people helping one another to face down their demons that regeneration and renewal always seem to be just around the corner.\" -Charles Isherwood, \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eWinner of the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Drama\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWater by the Spoonful\u003c\/em\u003e is \"a rich, brilliant montage of American urban life that is as dazzling to watch as it is difficult to look away from\" (\u003cem\u003eAssociated Press\u003c\/em\u003e).  Somewhere in Philadelphia, Elliot has returned from Iraq and is struggling to find his place in the world. Somewhere in a chat room, recovering addicts forge an unbreakable bond of support and love. The boundaries of family and community are stretched across continents and cyberspace as birth families splinter and online families collide.  \u003cem\u003eWater by the Spoonful\u003c\/em\u003e is a heartfelt and poetic meditation on lives on the brink of redemption and self-discovery during a time of heightened uncertainty, \"as startling and innovative and human on the page as on the stage\" (Junot D az, Pulitzer Prize-Winning author). Hudes's cycle of three plays began with \u003cem\u003eElliot, A Soldier's Fugue\u003c\/em\u003e (Pulitzer Prize finalist) and concludes with \u003cem\u003eThe Happiest Song Plays Last\u003c\/em\u003e.  \u003cstrong\u003eQuiara Alegr a Hudes \u003c\/strong\u003eis the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning \u003cem\u003eWater by the Spoonful\u003c\/em\u003e, the Tony Award-winning musical \u003cem\u003eIn the Heights\u003c\/em\u003e and the Pulitzer Prize finalist \u003cem\u003eElliot, A Soldier's Fugue\u003c\/em\u003e.
