I couldn\u2019t stop turning the page!\" ~ Lizzie Damilola Blackburn  Long-standing tensions between a husband, his wife, and her best friend finally come to a breaking point in this sharp domestic comedy of manners, told brilliantly over the course of one day.  What if the two most important people in your life hated each other with a passion?  The wife has it all. A big house in a nice neighbourhood, a ride-or-die snarky friend with whom to laugh about facile men, and an affectionate husband who loves her above all else. The only thing missing from this portrait is a baby. But motherhood is a serious undertaking, especially for the wife who has valued her selfhood above all else.  On a seemingly normal day, the best friend comes over to spend a lazy afternoon with the wife. But when the husband comes home and a series of confessions are made that threaten to throw everything off balance, the wife\u2019s two confidantes are suddenly forced to jockey for their positions. Told in three taut, mesmerizing parts\u2014the wife, the husband, the best friend\u2014the day quickly unfolds to show how the trio\u2019s dented visions of each other finally unravel, throwing everyone\u2019s integrity into question \u2013 and their long-drawn-out territorial dance, carefully constructed over pivotal years, into utter chaos.  At once subversively comical, wildly astute, and painfully compulsive, The Three of Us explores cultural truths, what it means to defy them, and the fine line between compromise and betrayal, ultimately asking: who are we if not for the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves, and the people we\u2019re meant to love?"}
