The Drowning Girls

Opening with a splash, three breathless brides emerge gasping from watery graves — their bathtubs — to relive the tale of the Edwardian serial bigamist and murderer George Joseph Smith and how he literally took their breath away. This turn-of-the-century British swindler married ’em, insured ’em and offed them … and almost got away with it.

Written by Beth Graham, Charlie Tomlinson and Daniela Vlaskalic.
Winner of four Betty Mitchell Awards including Outstanding Production and Outstanding New Play.
