TALHOTBLOND

An EMMY Award winning journalist stumbles on a plot that towers all others. Based on a true story, playwright Kathrine Bates crafts this stunning account of lust, lies, and fantasies into a World Premiere production at Ruskin Group Theatre. Sex and obsession, indulged through an erotic relationship on the Internet leads to explosive consequences, becoming a cautionary tale for the times we live in. 

“Chills went up my arm when I first heard this “ripped from the headlines” story. Barbara Schroeder approached me about turning her documentary, into what could be a smashing theatre piece. It was edgy, contemporary, and I became immediate passionate about creating the play.” – Kathrine Bates; Playwright

“At its essence, this is a story about blurring the line between reality and illusion. It’s the dark side of human interaction: a cautionary look into an increasingly disconnected world.” - Beverly Olevin; Director
