Take Three - A Play by Dave Preston

Take three women and listen to the stories they tell here for the first time. Hear how unremarkable lives can become quite remarkable when they strip away the hair, the clothes, the makeup, the smile and reveal themselves for who they really are. Mixing their laughter with tears, each one struggles, each one wrestles with the past and fears the future. But which one of them has true hope?

Linda has been trapped for twenty years in a dangerous, abusive marriage. Why has she stayed so long? Will she finally take the way out that’s been offered?
 

Kate is not trying to have it all, she’s just trying to be a successful working mother, friend, wife and lover. Why doesn’t she shed some of the self-imposed load and play just one of these roles wholeheartedly?

Ruth does seem to have it all, but she’s crying all the way to the bank, and back to her single bed.

Take Three lets these very different women tell their stories, honestly, candidly, and with the hope that, whatever their situations, change is possible. Even if it takes everything they have.
