In a silent apartment, a young wife lives unseen beside her husband. Though he paints her portrait, he always leaves her eyes blank. Her desperate need to be acknowledged spirals into obsession, until the sound of a relentless heartbeat invades her mind - an embodiment of guilt, desire, and madness.

A famous artist invites her old friends to her luxurious new home. For one night only, the group is back together. But celebrations come to an abrupt end when the host suffers a horrific accident. As the victim lies in a coma, an almost unthinkable plan starts to take shape: could her suffering be their next work of art? Pool (No Water) is a visceral and shocking play about the fragility of friendship and the jealousy and resentment inspired by success.
