The Ghost Writer by Ross Mueller

Crying Chair Theatre in association with Secret House present THE GHOST WRITER

When her child is murdered, Brihanna wants the killer publicly exposed - in a best selling novel. But for the truth to be told, she needs a ‘ghost’ to write it. Follow the interlocking lives of Brihanna, her ghostwriter Claudia, Claudia’s lover, and her publisher father, all of whom are affected by the young child’s murder. As each searches for the truth, they are haunted by the past. The Ghost Writer is a compelling tale by award-winning Australian playwright, Ross Mueller.

First produced by Melbourne Theatre Company and since produced in Brisbane and Perth, The Ghost Writer was described as “an intelligent and gripping thriller” (Brisbane Times), “beautiful confessional scenes ...great comic moments” (The Age) “gripping gritty play, part thriller part whodunit... with a cliff hanger result” (Australian Stage).
