About the play:

(via the website)

Crystal Springs is a thought-provoking new play that interweaves the challenges of parenting in the digital age with a suspenseful tale of online misbehavior and its vicious consequences. Written by Kathy Rucker, directed by 2013 Bruntwood Prize winner Anna Jordan.

Based on true events, the performance follows a suburban mother who becomes obsessed with her daughter’s online social circle, using the teen’s Web connections to fire salvos and seek revenge. The play starts at the story’s conclusion and unfolds backwards in time, turning surprising corners on a path to an unexpected beginning.
