The musical 'The Fiction' is a gripping 3-person play set in 1930s New York, showcasing the intertwined lives of a writer, a journalist, and a detective. Set on a rotating stage, the plot unfolds as a mysterious sequence of murders mirroring those in a popular serial novel grips reality. The complex storyline is powered by strong drama rather than spectacle, enhancing the narrative with meticulous dialogues and dynamic musical numbers, ranging from intense rock tracks to duets amplifying character tension. Having been performed over 400 times since its 2018 debut, 'The Fiction' remains an acclaimed staple, even extending its reach to China.
