Scenes from SOMEONE IS GOING TO COME
by JON FOSSE
in an English Version by GREGORY MOTTON
A married couple moves far away from everyone to be alone, on a cliff on the coast of Norway. The house is old with issues of its own. They come to be alone, with just the ocean and their backyard. Far away from all the people that had been part of their lives. The issue is the feeling that someone is going to come. Come to disturb the peace. Come to disturb the relationship. Break the pair apart. Jon Fosse wrote this as his first play ever. It has been done countless many times. In this performance, we attempt to take the play in a new direction.
This production of the Play is amateur.

Bessie, Alice, and Margaret are married to George, and they are dead. This true story captures women’s plight now and in the past when women were forcibly dependent on men.
The Drowning Girls is a haunting play and a reflective performance. Bessie, Alice, and Margaret, all three married the same man George Joseph Smith and were drowned in their bath. This grim and intriguing story captures women’s plight in our own day as it is a look back to an era when women were depended on men for everything from money to social acceptance.
The Drowning Girls premiered at Alberta Theatre Projects on March 6, 2008, as part of the Enbridge playRites Festival of New Canadian Plays. The Drowning Girls is produced by permission of the Playwright and Marquis Literary (Colin Rivers) www.MQlit.ca
