The New York Times, Huffington Post, NYTheatre.com, Reviews Off Broadway and more.

". . . careful direction (by Shelley Butler) and vivid performances . . . help the play blossom . . ."
"Michelle David is excellent as Celia . . ."
The real standout, though, is Richard Masur, whose gentle gestures and precise comic timing reveal that this seemingly senile family patriarch has a few more marbles left than he lets on. He is also perfectly at home in Lauren Helpern's spot-on reproduction of a 1970s-era suburban New Jersey kitchen, replete with hokey coffee mugs and a tacky seashell mobile."
Catherine Rampell, New York Times
"Inviolet Rep's production of Megan Hart's new show This is Fiction is a perfect example of how one unusual day in the lives of regular characters can be fascinatin . . . I thoroughly enjoyed this well done new piece."
Bess Rowen, Huffington Post
"Hart . . . is helped along by the two stand-out performances. (Richard) Masur, an accomplished Broadway and Hollywood veteran with a familiar face, plays the easy-going, absent-minded father whose oddness might seem clinical in a lesser actor's hands. (Michelle) David serves a satisfying counterpoint as his hard-charging and bitter daughter Celia who is unable to forget or forgive, especially herself."
Jonathan Mandell, Backstage
"This Is Fiction is the type of small, subtle play that there should be a dozen of every season, but there never is. That's because it's hard work, and it requires the collaboration of many talented artists serving under the careful leadership of a director like Shelley Butler,
whose achievement here is large."
"Its best quality, without a doubt, is its believability: you'll believe the characters, the story, even the set. The only thing you probably won't believe is that, according to the program,
This Is Fiction is Hart's first full-length play,"
"Bernardo Cubria is spot-on"
"Aubyn Philabaum...shines"
"One must hope for much more to come from
The InViolet Repertory Theater Company."
Cory Conley, NY Theatre.com
"Beautifully written, nicely acted, and thought provoking, This is Fiction is a spare, elegant work about a timeless theme. It will leave you wondering about the subjectivity of truth, shaking your head at the possibility of total fabrication."
Eleanor Bader, Theater is Easy
"The climax is powerful, thanks especially to Ms. David's admirable performance as Celia . . ."
Dimitry Zvonkov, Stage and Cinema
"This Is Fiction is an engrossing and humorous family drama
that speaks with an honest voice."
"...a touching and funny piece"

It is said in Spain that the dead are always more alive than the day they were born. So it is for the presumed murderer of Federico Garcia Lorca, Juan Luis Trescante Medina. Sixty years after Lorca's death, the aging fascist, Trescante, fights to hold onto the myth of a murder that defined his life. But in Spain, sixty years is little more than a breath, and a reckoning is all but inevitable.
