Ghost-Writer

Something mysterious is happening. In the West Coast premiere of an intimate spine-tingler from award-winning playwright Michael Hollinger (Opus), it’s 1919 and acclaimed novelist Franklin Woolsey has died. His devoted secretary Myra remains poised at her typewriter, claiming she’s still receiving dictation toward the completion of his unfinished masterpiece, dutifully sending each chapter to the publisher under her late employer’s name.

Attacked by skeptics, the press, and Woolsey’s jealous… Show more widow, Myra sets out to prove she is more than just an artful forger. Is she channeling Woolsey’s voice and might she truly possess a gift the world can’t understand, or is she deceiving herself and/or others? This ghost story of literary proportions questions where we draw the line between fact and fiction, between this life and beyond.
