Praise for Water by the Spoonful…

“Hudes brilliantly taps into both the family ties that bind as well as the alternative cyber universe… Her dialogue is bright, her characters, compelling… It’s only when cyber meets the real world that anger gives way to forgiveness and resistance becomes redemption; the heart of the play opens up and the waters flow freely.” — Variety

“Hudes combines a lyrical ear with a sophisticated sense of structure...
A confident and arresting voice.” — New York Times

“A very funny, warm and, yes, uplifting play with characters that are vivid, vital and who stay with you long after the play is over.” — Hartford Courant
