Synopsis:
The bullets fly on the streets of crime-ridden Chicago: some directly at charismatic, crusading, would-be State’s Attorney Alexander Tyson, who’s now on the verge of winning a major election as a result of surviving an assassination attempt. But not everything is as it seems as four antagonists – a woman with a battered face, a cop with a checkered past, an ambitious campaign manager, and a cunning political lawyer – clash over what really went down that fateful day.
Bad Fiction leads the audience into a dangerous and twist-filled world where the person you trust the most just might be your worst enemy.
About the Playwright:
JEFFERY KEILHOLTZ is a writer based out of New York City. BAD FICTION marks the anticipated follow-up to Keilholtz’s first, full-length play, NIGHTSWIMMING, which was produced at Access Theatre by At Hand Theater Company and subsequently workshopped with Millennium Talent Group at Manhattan Ensemble Theatre. NIGHTSWIMMING was optioned as a screenplay by L.I.F.T. Productions (William Friedkin’s BUG) and later by Louisiana Film Consultants (THE MIST). Keilholtz’s original, based-on- a-true- story screenplay, the currently UNTITLED MARSHALL KILDUFF PROJECT – the account of the San Francisco Chronicle Reporter who exposed Reverend Jim Jones and Peoples Temple Church – is also in feature film development. A BOY FROM BROOKLYN: CLINTON SIMPSON AND THE ORPHAN TRAIN is Keilholtz’s new book, now available in paperback and Kindle on Amazon.com. Keilholtz has degrees in sociology and psychology and has worked as a political professional. He wishes to thank Triumvirate Productions for its support and TACT for this incredible opportunity with newTACTics. Most importantly, Keilholtz thanks his beautiful wife, Jennifer, and dedicates his everything to, Vienne, their eight month-old little girl.
