Synopsis

When Mark Styler, a writer of glossy "true crime" paperbacks, tries to get an interview with Easterman, a notorious serial killer, he has no idea what he is walking into. First he has to get past Dr. Farquhar, the quixotic head of Fairfields - the asylum wher Easterman is kept. But soon he discovers that nothing is what it seems. Who is the mysterious Borson? Where did he get the mysterious meat in the fridge? And why isn't the skeleton in the closet?

Mindgame is a puzzlebox of a play. A dazzling thriller and a jet black comedy that twists it's way to a chilling conclusion.
