Description
Fiction is the latest work from award-winning playwright Steven Dietz, one of the country's most prolific, versatile, and widely produced playwrights. More than twenty of his plays have been performed throughout the United States, Off-Broadway, and worldwide to critical acclaim.
Dietz is the master of the perception shift; in each of his works there is an unexpected twist or series of twists that alter the perceptions of the characters and of the audience. In Fiction those perception shifts abound causing characters not only to doubt each other but also themselves. Through the use of the journals of the characters, Dietz challenges the power of memory and its ability to reshape the events of our lives. Because much of Fiction is addressed to the audience from these journals, the audience must decide whether or not to believe the accounts of the past as the narrators describe them. This tension between trust and suspicion, between fact and fiction, is at the heart of this gripping drama.
This production is directed by Richard Harder and features Jennifer Bareilles, Michael Medici, and Joyce Henderson.
