Synopsis

Fiction is a play about the secrets in the lives of a seemingly devoted couple, Linda Waterman and Michael Waterman. The set is minimal and the play only requires three actors. Linda is a professor who has written one successful novel, but now has writer’s block. Her husband Michael is a successful “hack writer.” His books get made into movies. Abby Drake is a younger woman who Michael had an affair with years ago. The play involves the themes of suspicion, deceit and betrayal.
