"I was amazed at the effect a wedding ring had upon my entire existence" 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 womanising, 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 a powerful and thought-provoking play written by Beth Graham, Charlie Tomlinson, and Daniela Vlaskalic. Inspired by the real-life Brides in the Bath murders that occurred in early 1900s London, the play delves into the themes of gender-based violence and the societal expectations imposed on women during that era and beyond. This captivating performance takes the audience on a mesmerising journey through a world of rich imagery and complex characters. The creative team behind "The Drowning Girls" is a diverse group of females, bringing unique perspectives to the production. With a Sri Lankan theatre director and actresses from British, Mauritanian, Cypriot, and Chinese backgrounds, the fusion of cultural diversity enriches the storytelling and allows for a broader exploration of women's lives across the globe. Through its compelling narrative and innovative staging, 'The Drowning Girls' encourages audiences to confront uncomfortable truths about gender-based violence and the societal constraints placed on women. It sparks conversations about the importance of breaking free from traditional roles and expectations, empowering women to challenge injustice and claim their agency.
