World famous psychological illusionist Edward Rye has made his fortune demonstrating to the world that free will is merely, well, an illusion. But when, desperate for a challenge, he decides to use Claire Fox, an intelligent but fragile staff member at his show, as the subject of his next meta experiment, his world is turned upside down and he is forced to question everything he once believed. A daring, Twilight Zone - esque play,

THE ILLUSIONARY GAMES OF EDWARD RYE premiered with the Filigree Theatre in 2025 after receiving development from 2020-2024.
