This week, we’re exploring Christopher Reynaga’s Point Mystic, playing “White Rabbit, Parts I and II” from that show. Point Mystic is a fiction show done up in a narrative-nonfiction style, à la This American Life—it’s about Christopher’s family, and the spookiness of the town they inhabit. The White Rabbit cycle was created in collaboration with Christopher’s wife, Marguerite Croft, and their son Fox—and all three of them act (quite ably) in the show.
It’s a fascinating mixture of nonfiction interviews and fiction segments, but presented in such a way that each supports the other, which isn’t as common as you’d think.
