In 1934, Charles Lang designed an engine that runs only on water. The Water Engine is the harrowing tale of what follows; how the self-interest of few undercuts the common good. It tells of human ingenuity and the depths to which men will go to kill it. Originally conceived as a radio play, The Water Engine, is a multi-layered work revealing how the echoes of history have a frightening relevance today.
