The Headlands

InThe Headlands Henry is an amateur sleuth and true crime aficionado who sets out to solve the ultimate case: the unsolved murder of his father. Using his memories and the family stories he was told as a child growing up in San Francisco Henry begins an investigation through a labyrinth of secrets and deceptions that leads him to question those closest to him.The Headlandsis a contemporary noir that explores the stories we tell ourselves and the fallibility of the mind. Author's Note: Inspired byVertigoand other San Francisco noir as well as the exquisitely precise tone management of Kazuo Ishiguro's novels the play's primary requirement for its creative team will be to make each scene each moment a highly distinct pocket of atmosphere mood and emotion. There should a cinematic quality to each scene and to the flow of the production as a whole.
