Rebecca Louise Miller is a writer and performer living in Brooklyn, New York. Her most recent play, Capacity, about the life of Mileva Maric- a genius physicist and the first wife of Albert Einstein- just finished a sold out run in Northern California, where it was named one of the “Bay Area's Top 10 Torn Tickets” by the North Bay Bohemian.

Rebecca's first play, Fault Lines, was a semi-finalist for the O'Neill Playwrights Conference and a finalist for Playwrights Week at the Lark. It enjoyed successful runs in New York, Chicago, London, Northern California and Edinburgh, Scotland and was published in the anthology Plays and Playwrights 2011.

Rebecca wrote and stars in the short film One Day Home, a sexy comedy with a broken heart of gold. ODH was inspired by her misadventures shopping for a new mattress after her marriage imploded. The film also stars Catherine Curtin (Insecure, Stranger Things), Frank Harts (Master of None), Michelle Hurst (Orange is the New Black), Alfredo Narciso (House of Cards), and Larry Pine (The Grand Budapest Hotel). So far it has screened at the Austin Film Festival, Virginia Film Festival, Big Apple Film Festival, Lighthouse International Film Festival and Newport Beach Film Festival. It will be available on ShortsHD in 2019, continuing its high-threadcount quest for comedic world domination.

    Mileva Maric has come unstuck in time.

    A brilliant physicist and mathemetician, she'd blazed a trail through Europe’s most selective academies, a nearly impossible feat for a woman at the turn of the 19th century. She seemed destined for greatness until she collided with another rising star: a fellow student named Albert Einstein.

    Mileva Maric has come unstuck in time.

    A brilliant physicist and mathemetician, she'd blazed a trail through Europe’s most selective academies, a nearly impossible feat for a woman at the turn of the 19th century. She seemed destined for greatness until she collided with another rising star: a fellow student named Albert Einstein.

    Over the course of the play, Mileva steps in and out of her own memory; reenacting her meteoric love story with Albert, and bearing witness to the devastating series of losses that left her literally paralyzed with grief.

    "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.
