  • Three Little Words by Joanna Murray-Smith is a sharp, funny and quietly devastating exploration of love, memory and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. Set in a single living room over the course of one extraordinary evening, the play brings together two women whose lives have been shaped by the same man, a celebrated author who is no longer able to speak for himself.

    What begins as an awkward, tentative meeting quickly unfolds into a layered battle of wit, vulnerability and revelation. As secrets surface and perspectives collide, Murray-Smith deftly peels back the mythology of romance, success and artistic legacy, exposing the fragile human truths underneath. The title’s deceptively simple phrase, “three little words”, becomes a haunting refrain, pointing to how something so small can carry enormous emotional weight.

    With her trademark intelligence and emotional precision, Murray-Smith crafts a play that is both deeply intimate and universally resonant. Three Little Words is a compelling two hander that asks who owns a love story, and what happens when the version you have lived by is challenged. Unsettling and darkly humorous, it is a riveting examination of desire, loyalty and the cost of believing in a beautiful lie.
