"Welcome to wine country: where the weather is mellow and the disasters epic."

Jessica, Kat, and Bethany are girlhood friends who witnessed the abduction of their friend Nina from her 12th birthday party. The event triggered a national media feeding frenzy, scarred their shared community and brought their childhoods screaming to a traumatized halt. After two decades apart, reacting to and against their common trauma in vastly different ways, they reunite at Bethany’s home the week the kidnapper is to be executed. While each claims to have come home seeking fellowship and support, all three harbor secrets that will force them into conflict.

Fault Lines was a semi-finalist for the O'Neil Playwrights Conference and a finalist for Playwrights' Week at the Lark. It has been produced in New York City, London, Northern California, Edinburgh and Chicago.
