WE THREE
In a rural American town, a young girl is reported to have fallen under the ice of a frozen creek, but no body can be found to verify the report. Suspicion soon lands on one man, an outsider to the town, who lives near the creek. He has to fight to secure his innocence, which we, too, begin to question as the play unfolds. WE THREE follows the lives of three characters in the aftermath of this event as their own stories intertwine around the mystery of the missing girl. The play looks at the beliefs people create to fill absences in their lives.
