The Deception of Surfaces

The Deception of Surfaces follows one extraordinary twenty-four hour period in the life of a young actress in Philadelphia in the year 2020. In order to streamline the marketing of young actors, each actor is given a category. Alice is an “A2”: she has a centerfold’s body but an unusual face. Her attributes have led to an interesting day job. Alice performs at a “Fantasy Palace”, having sex with other performers in front of discreet cameras and one-way mirrors, and getting paid handsomely for it. And one other thing about Alice: she is deceptively smart. She's reading Aldous Huxley and is obsessed with Shakespeare. But in this brave new world she lives in, she has no place to explore it, until the day the book describes . . . A follow up to Lloyd's book The Actor's Way, Deception is about being young, being creative, being a gift.
