Three-time Drama Desk-nominee, Stolen Chair, presents Kiran Rikhye's KILL ME LIKE YOU MEAN IT, a "film noir for the stage" that is equal parts Raymond Chandler and David Lynch, a hostile but hilarious world of rapid-fire dialogue, smoking guns, and femmes fatale.

When American Private Detective Ben Farrell gets a call from powerful publisher to find a missing writer, he’s on the case. Turns out the writer isn’t missing at all, but, in his popular pulp serial, Kill Me Like You Mean It, he has been penning Farrell’s cases before Farrell himself has lived them. Farrell grows even more determined to solve this strange mystery when he reads the draft of the next installment: a gritty and eerily specific description of his own murder. As he steps down a rabbit-hole where truth and fiction seem entirely interchangeable, Farrell must figure out whom he can trust and how he can find his killer before his killer kills him.
