Synopsis: Master storyteller Mike Daisey sinks his razor-sharp wit into a subject he knows well: the American theater, from the sublimely crass to the genuinely ugly. From gorgeous new theaters standing empty as cathedrals, to 'successful' working actors traveling like migrant farmhands, to an arts culture unwilling to speak or listen to its own nation, Daisey takes stock of the dystopian state of theater in America: a shrinking world with smaller audiences every year. Fearlessly implicating himself and the system he works within, Daisey seeks answers to essential and dangerous questions about the art were making, the legacy we leave the future, and who it is we believe were speaking to - press release |

Synopsis: Truth follows the fictional and non-fictional self-destruction of A Million Little Pieces author James Frey, the sordid and shocking tale of non-existent, world famous transsexual author J.T. LeRoy, and the mystery of the wildly prolific multiple personalities of Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa. Mike Daisey investigates the bizarre stories of these literary sensations and by reflecting his findings against his own history of lying and telling the truth this master storyteller illuminates the uncertain landscape of the emotionally true, the literally true, and the constant struggle to speak the truth.
