Spring Drama
Novelist Franklin Woolsey dies mid-sentence, but his secretary Myra continues to take dictation.
Attacked by skeptics, the press and Woolsey's jealous widow, Myra sets out to prove she is more than just an artful forger.
Is she trying to steal Woolsey's legacy now that she cannot have his love, or might she truly possess a gift the world can't understand?
Ghost-Writer is loosely based on Theodora Bosanquet, who was secretary to Henry James from 1907 until his death in 1916. She went on to write her own literary histories after that, but certainly not in the voice of her former employer.
Kristi Ann Jacobson and Ruth Ann Saunders co-direct this nostalgic, slow-burn love story.
