Crime Fiction by Deirdre Girard is a witty, suspenseful psychological thriller that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats from start to finish. Maddie, a sharp and ambitious crime journalist, decides to channel her talents into fiction writing—but soon discovers that truth and imagination are not so easily separated. When her trusted mentor becomes the target of a dangerous stalker, Maddie finds herself entangled in a chilling mystery where the lines between fact and fiction blur with every twist and turn.

Full of biting humor, unexpected revelations, and gripping tension, Crime Fiction explores obsession, ambition, and the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of a chaotic world. With its clever structure and constant surprises, the play draws audiences deep into Maddie’s unraveling perspective, leaving them questioning what’s real—and who can be trusted—until the very last moment.

Deirdre Girard, an award-winning playwright known for her sharp dialogue and compelling characters, delivers a theatrical experience that is as thrilling as it is thought-provoking.
