SEASON X — Splinter Series

Fiction by Steven Dietz

'The lies begin when we lift the pen.'

This provocative play focuses on Linda and Michael Waterman, smart and successful married writers who thrive on the give-and-take of their unusually honest relationship.  Their happy life is interrupted when Linda learns she has a brain tumor and only has three weeks to live.  She asks Michael to read her diaries after she dies and to let her read his now.  The surprises come thick and fast when she discovers a mysterious woman in Michael's memoirs.  The boundaries between past and present, fact and fiction, and trust and betrayal begin to break down.  No life, it turns out, is an open book.  The tension between trust and suspicion is at the heart of this gripping drama.
