Prepare to RSVP for the weddings of the year as The Drowning Girls takes center stage, bringing true crime, ghostly brides, and a bathtub-bound mystery to life. This haunting and imaginative production, directed by Daniel King, invites audiences to witness the chilling tale of George Joseph Smith's victims as they rise from their watery graves to share their stories.

Bessie, Alice, and Margaret were each seduced, married, insured, and ultimately drowned in their bathtubs by the infamous Edwardian con artist. Now, these spectral brides return to recount the events that led to their tragic demise in a macabre, yet darkly funny, theatrical fantasia.

The Drowning Girls is an immersive experience that blends history, horror, and humor in equal measure. Audiences will be captivated as the brides step back into their wedding gowns and relive their final moments, warning of the dangers of blind trust and unchecked charm.
