Immerse yourself in a tale of sinister secrets and lies!
At the turn of the 20th century, Bessie, Alice and Margaret have two things in common: they are married to George Joseph Smith, and they are dead. Surfacing from the bathtubs they were drowned in, the three breathless brides gather evidence against their womanizing, murderous husband by reliving the shocking events leading up to their deaths. Reflecting on the misconceptions of love, married life and the not-so-happily ever after, The Drowning Girls is full of rich images, a myriad of characters, a quirky sense of humor and lyrical language that audiences found both compelling and breathtaking!
ALT assembled an amazing cast which includes Ashley Fithen as Bessie, Gemma Harris as Margaret and Zoë Parrish as Alice. This award winning drama was directed by Jo Smith with Carla Fristoe serving as Assistant to the Director and Chip Chandler as Dramaturge.
The Drowning Girls brings true crime to the stage where the playwrights have beautifully balanced the dark content of the story with a strong sense of humor. This show was a perfect production for the Adventure Space.
