“The imaginative depth of the Drowning Girls is enough to take your breath away.”
–Calgary Herald
“What a story: a police investigation, a trial, three lives sketched out in telling detail, a charming but lethal villain and murder most foul.” –Colin MacLean, Edmonton Sun
“Theatre at its mesmerizing best ... from conception to execution and performance ... The Drowning Girls is so engrossing, exciting and entertaining; you don't want it to end.” –Calgary Sun

Meet Bessie, Alice and Margaret: over a short period of time in the early 1900s, these three wealthy women were each seduced, wed, insured, and ultimately slain — all by the same man. Based on actual events and written and presented with graceful beauty and macabre humour, The Drowning Girls is a breathtaking tale that will enchant and haunt you.

Winner of four Betty Mitchell Awards and two Elizabeth Sterling Haynes Awards
