Fault Lines by Rebecca Louise Miller
Broken Road Theatre Company presents the Midwest premiere of "Fault Lines" by Rebecca Louise Miller. Miller's play has had successful, critically acclaimed productions in New York, California, and most recently, the 2013 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and Broken Road is excited to bring it to Chicago audiences.
"Fault Lines" centers on Bethany, Kat, and Rachel, who watched as their friend, Nina, was abducted from her own 12th birthday slumber party. Twenty years after Nina's abduction and subsequent murder, the friends reunite on the week of the murderer's execution as the media pursues them for their untold story of that night.

______
"Hauntingly beautiful script... an intimate, compassionate encounter with three real characters." 5/5 Stars, Three Weeks
"... exchanges which crackle to life in this strong play by Rebecca Louise Miller." The Scotsman
"Triumphant, thought-provoking." AE: All Edinburgh Theatre
"Provocative, powerful, personal... a tale that focuses with deft precision... could be this generation's "Crimes of the Heart"... A new gem of a show... there is no doubt that Miller has a very strong piece on her hands and she is a playwright to keep an eye out for." Michael Roderick, BroadwayWorld.com "This is not your typical survivors-in-recovery story; Miller's approach is wondrously grown up... The great thing about "Fault Lines" is that, while it's rooted in an event that happened two decades in the past, it is always about the present, and how each moment leads to a next moment that must be lived, dealt with, decided... Fault Lines is Miller's first play; she is definitely a talent to keep an eye on." Martin Denton, NYTheatre.com "Skillful storytelling and realistic, witty, and pointed dialogue... the vivid personalities of the characters and sparkling dialogue never let the seriousness of the story sink to the maudlin... cascades towards a satisfying, thought-provoking finish. Jon Sobel, blogcritics.org
