NEW YORK—Theater company Patch of Blue’s “We Live by the Sea” is first and foremost a story about family—those who have left, those who remain, and those who join. Tightly directed and boasting four strong performances, the play makes a worthwhile addition to the Brits Off-Broadway series at 59E59 Theaters.

Katy (Alexandra Brain), a 15-year old girl on the autism spectrum, lives with her 18-year-old sister Hannah (Alexandra Simonet) in the English county of Yorkshire, not far from the sea. Their father died the year before, and their mother left years earlier, shortly after Katy was diagnosed.
