Mildred’s Umbrella Theater Company presents the regional premiere of The Drowning Girls by Beth Graham, Charlie Tomlinson and Daniela Vlaskalic. A modern interpretation and poetic retelling of the “Brides in the Bath” slayings in 20th century England, the play also examines the lengthy history of misogyny and domestic abuse in modern civilization.

Originally produced in Canada for the Edmonton Fringe Festival, the work will make its Houston debut. In line with MU’s mission to promote and support the work of women, the play, written by three female playwrights, illustrates how far women have come in the fight for equality in the past 100 years.
