Even if told with the best intentions… they’re not all harmless. Maria Tracey, a young FBI agent desperately trying to prove herself in a male-dominated workplace, is told to return to her hometown to investigate a development in a 10-year-old cold case. There's not much to go on that wasn't there before... and for her, this is a town that died a long time ago. Would anyone care if she solved this one?

About the show

Early Doors Productions presents White Lies at Willow Studio as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. FBI agent Maria Tracey is sent back to her hometown to investigate a development in a cold case that has gone unsolved for ten years. There is not much new to go on, and for Maria this is a town she long considered dead. The drama explores whether anybody would even care if she cracked it. Contains distressing themes and strong language. Suitable for audiences aged 12 and over. Runs for 50 minutes.

Why see this show?

A tightly focused crime drama that is as much about its protagonist as the case she is investigating. Maria's ambivalence about her hometown gives this cold-case thriller an emotional undercurrent worth following.
