About the play
A brand-new play by playwright and performer Justin Elizabeth Sayre, who has been described by the New York press “Oscar Wilde meets Whoopi Goldberg” and been praised for his “deeply passionate soul and acerbic wit” and as one of the “Funniest People in Brooklyn”.
THREE LITTLE GIRLS DOWN A WELL is a comedy for our time. Libby ran out of her ninth birthday party with two of her best friends, Marigold and Eleanor. They all fell down a well. In the Here and Now, quite some time later, we find them – they’ve all survived, but will they ever be saved, or must they continue a life underground? A comedy about today, towering doom, and the will to go on.
