Detective Fiction, written by Patrick Coyle and produced by Theater Max was performed at the Minneapolis Theater Garage, directed by Mary Finnerty. The play centers around Jack, a recovering alcoholic, who turns to writing detective fiction stories. The line between reality and fiction becomes blurry as he faces his own identity and the myths that shape it.

I photographed cast members with lighting set-ups from film noir movies and coupled that with written text. This juxtaposition contrasted the masculine myths he hoped to embody versus the life he actually lives.

These images hung in the lobby and served as a visual prelude to the play.
