Flashes & Floaters at Orlando Shakes

Flashes & Floaters considers the challenge of integrating home/family life with work life. Facing expensive caregiving options and inadequate policies at work, Rachelle joins forces with co-workers, Ivy and Miriam, in hopes of building a workers-cooperative to become a main beneficiary of her own work and have more flexibility to be a caregiver to a newborn and her father, Everett. There are disruptive forces in this play, but there are also several acts of love, forgiveness, and understanding that exemplify what it means to come through for one another during difficult periods.
