About the Show

A writer's memoir about her past is challenged by a woman claiming the stories are false.

A best-selling author publishes a book detailing her upbringing as a gay child in the Evangelical South. She is subsequently confronted by a woman who disputes the veracity of the affair described in the book. The production features Jen Tullock, who utilizes multiple cameras and live looping systems to portray a diverse cast of characters, exploring the intersection of reality and self-deception.
