After a long and successful career as a mystery writer spanning nearly 50 years, William Kasinski has hit a protracted and unsettling fallow period. Does this mark a temporary setback or the end of his professional work life? At his agent’s insistence, Kasinski agrees to attempt a memoir in hopes of reigniting his career, and to this end, returns to his hometown to revisit his beginnings. Once there, triggered by an encounter with an up-and-coming Young Adult novelist, William must reckon with long-ignored events of his youth, and their impact on his journey.
By Bryan Harnetiaux, Civic’s Resident Playwright
