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.

Fearing cuckoldry above all else, Arnolphe has painstakingly trained the naïve Agnes from childhood to become his obedient and faithful wife. So, what can possibly go wrong? Everything. Although he has carefully shielded her from the outside world, romance finds her in the form of the dashing Horace. Unaware of who his rival is, the trusting Horace enlists Arnolphe's aid in wooing Agnes—that leads to a series of hilarious and inventive twists and turns of plot, until the inevitable conclusion is reached. Classical comedy at its finest! By Molière, translated into English verse by Richard Wilbur; directed by Biliana Stoytcheva-Horissian.
