About The Play
About The Play
Three Sides tells the simple story of three people sharing one relationship. After a depressing new year a chance meeting leads to Carrie getting involved with both Ant and Brian. But when she can’t decide which to ditch and the men fall desperately in love with her, even the simplest things start to get complicated.
A contemporary love story, with three selfish, needy, passionate, neurotic, romantic, over-worked individuals who find out that there are three sides to every story – yours, mine and the truth.
Three Sides plays at the Finborough prior to a run at the New York Musical Theatre Festival 2006 as part of their ‘Next Link’ project.

This year’s NYMF Grand Jury will include Drama Desk nominee Anthony Rapp (Rent), three-time Tony winner Tom Meehan (Annie, The Producers), Tony Award winner Phylicia Rashad (Gem of the Ocean, Bernarda Alba), Tony winner David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly), seven-time Joseph Jefferson Award winner Gary Griffin (The Color Purple), Pulitzer Prize winner and two-time Tony winner Marsha Norman (The Color Purple, The Secret Garden, ‘night, Mother) and Tony-winning producer Michael Rego of The Araca Group.
