Directed by Elizabeth Carlin-Metz, Smith V. Brand Distinguished Professor of Theatre Arts, the 2008 play is based on a serial murder case in early 20th-century England.
In the play, three women have three things in common: they are married to the same man, they are dead, and at his hands. Speaking from and around the bathtubs in which they were drowned, the women share their stories indicting their serial murderer husband, as well as Victorian notions of love and marriage.
