UNTAPPING THE TRUTH ABOUT WATER

Everything’s hotting up at Private Investigators Inc. Water’s down to a trickle. Chief’s turning up the heat on a pile of stagnant cases, Fox is making Sparky’s temperature rise and the whole team’s clinging to the water-cooler for more than a drop of inspiration.

Our hard-boiled detectives can’t find the link between a series of mysterious crimes from Detroit to Rajasthan… until they stumble on the files of a certain Dr. Snow. Could his detective work in the sewers of Victorian London provide the clue to unblock their brains?

PIPE DREAMS is the hilarious, globe-trotting whodunnit about what’s going on with our water, unmasking a villain rather closer to home than we might like to admit. PIPE DREAMS re-connects the water rich with the water poor.

Riding Lights Theatre Company is touring PIPE DREAMS in support of WaterAid, the UK’s major charity dedicated to the provision of safe domestic water, sanitation and hygiene education to the poorest people in the world. 2006 is WaterAid’s 25th anniversary.

Many of the venues hosting performances of PIPE DREAMS are churches concerned with an ongoing commitment to justice, tying the show in to harvest events and fair-trade work. The tour will equip the communities of each venue to make a practical contribution to the international work of WaterAid.

Riding Lights is also pleased to recommend FRANK.
