The Invisible Theatre presents, through the generous support of Dr. Bella Eibensteiner, RUTH by Marilyn Harris Kriegel. This is the third and final offering in Invisible Theatre’s Women’s Voices play reading series produced by Fred Rodriguez and Susan Claassen.

TRUTH, starring Maedell Dixon*, Susie Cookie Baker, Eric Anson,  Joe L. Smith is a fast-paced suspenseful drama. Directed by Susan Claassen.  It  takes place in Paris in the first decade of the 21st century when the United States, shocked by 9/11 struggles to protect itself from further attack. It is in this context that fiction writer and former activist Maggie Leeds arrives in Paris, jet lagged and disoriented, from a long flight, to visit to her son and his new wife. It’s entirely unclear from the shreds of her bizarre travel tale whether she is just a muddled, confused woman, a national security risk or something far darker. Andrew, her adult, expatriate son, blocks any attempts at opening the door to her confusion while his intrepid French wife, Martine, risks her marriage and her Mother-in-law’s safety to discover “la verite”, the truth.
