The Drowning Girls – Live Theatre at Macaulay Church
October 20, 2022 @ 8:00 pm - October 24, 2022 @ 9:30 pm
$20 – $25
Presented by Shatterbox Theatre & The County Museums. Come see history brought to life on stage at Macaulay Heritage Church.
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 both a breathtaking fantasia and a social critique, full of rich images, a myriad of characters, and lyrical language.
Based on the true story of “The Brides in the Bath” Murders.
