THEATRE: Drowning Ophelia - Centenary Theatre Group

Title: Drowning Ophelia

Presented By: Centenary Theatre Group

Genre: Dark Comedy / Drama

Synopsis: Jane does not know what to do with the literary character who has taken up residence in her bathtub. Ophelia spends her time singing songs about death and valentines, interrupting Jane’s imagined romantic dates with an actor named Edmund, and stirring memories of a brother Jane would rather forget. As Jane’s past begins to intrude dangerously on her present, it becomes clear that Ophelia is not simply a character from Hamlet, but a long-forgotten messenger from Jane’s own troubled mind.
