DESCRIPTION

Play synopsis: It is 2019 and 4 generations of women are unaware of how there realities affect one another. There is no communication between the women. They each have their own priorities yet are all experiencing the same trials and triumphs.

Slap will reveal the complexities of each woman and the dualities of their character. We will see how they represent themselves to the world and we will see who they are internally and the weight that they carry which seldomly rises to the surface.
