THE LIAR

Written by David Ives
Adapted from the Comedy by Pierre Corneille
Directed by William Brown

Featuring Samuel Ashdown, LaShawn Banks, Nate Burger, Kalen Harriman, Michael Perez, Laura Rook, Anne E. Thompson and Jonathan Weir

Hours after arriving in Paris, the charismatic Dorante is smitten by a pair of comely young ladies and confounded by a case of mistaken identity. Not to worry, this scoundrel is handsome, charming—and a pathological liar. He wins admirers wherever he goes…so long as he never has to tell the truth! Misunderstandings, secret agendas, and witty wordplay abound in this delightfully ingenious and irreverent update of a classic French
romp.

Writers’ Theatre favorite William Brown directs this costume comedy in verse, newly adapted from the classic Corneille by modern wordsmith and celebrated Broadway playwright David Ives.

Running Time: 2 hours, 15 minutes (including a 10-minute intermission)
