Audition

What our staff have to say:

"It’s like reading two different books in a single one. The book follows the life of an actress who gets approached by a younger man, who claims to be her son. And then somewhere along the way, we are following the same, albeit wholly different story. Katie Kitamura has an uncanny ability to make you doubt what you read and yet pull you further into her world. A wondrous case of the unreliable narrator."

— Phalguni

Two people meet for lunch in a Manhattan restaurant. She’s an elegant and accomplished actress in rehearsals for an upcoming premiere. He’s attractive, troubling, and young young enough to be her son. Who is he to her, and who is she to him? In Audition, two competing narratives unspool, rewriting our understanding of the roles we play every day partner, parent, creator, muse and the truths every performance masks, especially from those who think they know us best.
