THE LIAR
by David Ives, adapted from the farce by Pierre Corneille Directed by Robert Currier

Commissioned by Washington D.C.'s Shakespeare Theatre, gifted playwright David Ives' (named by New York magazine as one of the "100 Smartest New Yorkers") gives us a clever adaptation of a saucy French farce about love, language, lies and laughter. This gleeful high-energy romantic comedy in rhyming couplets has been called "a true comic gem". Washington City Paper wrote: "If there’s anything half as entertaining as The Liar onstage hereabouts, I’d be obliged if someone would let me know about it."
