Inventing Montana
by Jeanne Murray Walker

Montana Winfield seems to have everything,charisma, fame and a chair in Dickens at a fine university.

But he is so driven by it all, that the wife he adores leaves him.

When a stranger knocks on the door late that night with a lost Dickens manuscript, she brings with it a secret about herself.

Reading the Dickens story and talking with the young woman changes Montana forever.

The Montana story alternates with scenes from the Dickens novel (invented by the playwright).
