Description
By Beth Graham, Charlie Tomlinson & Daniela Vlaskalic
A haunting play about three brides who share two things in common: they all married the same man, and they are all dead. Emerging from their clawfoot bathtubs, Bessie, Alice and Margaret share the evidence against a murderous man in a chilling ghost story that recounts the shocking crimes.

Why I chose this play
“I saw the premiere of this play in Calgary and the audience was hooked from the outset. I love any play that creates a struggle between our moral outrage and our appetite for the macabre.”

Stages & Pages
The Ottawa Public Library and GCTC have come together in a special partnership to help you explore the themes and topics raised in each play during GCTC’s 2018-2019 season.
OPL’s Readers’ Advisory staff have read the scripts for each of the plays, and recommended resources to further the exploration of their themes. The resources will only add to the experience of seeing the show, and can be explored before or after being part of the audience.
