PLOT TWIST, A New Theatrical Play, Premieres in Atlanta: A Live, Edge-of-Your-Seat Drama from Santa Barbara Creators

ATLANTA, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Conasauga Shakespeare Coalition proudly announces the world premiere of PLOT TWIST, a gripping new stage production written by Emmy Award–winning Santa Barbara creator Jerome “Jerry” Dobson and directed by original Santa Barbara star Lane Davies.

Set in the seductive, high-pressure world of 1980s daytime television, PLOT TWIST follows Henry, a brilliant soap opera writer whose personal life begins to unravel as it collides dangerously with the stories he creates.

For fans of classic soap operas, PLOT TWIST delivers the heightened emotion, shocking turns, and unforgettable characters of daytime drama, experienced live and in real time.

Dobson, who helped redefine television storytelling with Santa Barbara, reunites with Davies, best known for his iconic role as Mason Capwell, in a collaboration decades in the making.

“This is soap opera storytelling the way you’ve never experienced it before,” says Davies. “On stage, the stakes are higher because anything can happen, and it is happening right in front of you.”

The electrifying production debuts at Synchronicity Theatre in Atlanta, bringing high-stakes drama off the screen and directly onto the stage.
