Juliana Smithton is a successful neurologist and researcher. Her life turns chaotic when her husband files for divorce, her relationship with her daughter crumbles, and her health falls into question. But is everything really as it seems? Bit by bit, this brilliantly written play unfolds as Juliana’s facts blur with fiction, her past collides with her present, and the elusive truth begins to surface.
Casting 2 Men (30s – 50s) and 2 Women (20s – 50s)
Character Descriptions:
JULIANA: A medical researcher whose intelligence is both her greatest asset and her largest burden. A developing mental condition begins to take its toll, leaving her confused, angry and lashing out at the people closest to her. (late 40s - 50s)

THE WOMAN: Plays numerous characters throughout the play, including Dr. Cindy Teller, a neurobiologist, and Laurel, Juliana and Ian’s daughter. (20s - 30s)
