The Liar at Whitefish Theatre Company

In a bitingly witty farce from comedic maestro David Ives (Venus in Fur, All In The Timing), The Liar turns 17th century France on its ear in this non-stop linguistic masterpiece. Dorante is a charming young man with a bright future and one glaring personality quirk – he cannot tell the truth. When he hires a valet who cannot tell a lie, the fun begins: mistaken identities, breathtakingly intricate lies, duels, intrigue, identical-twin lady’s maids, and multiple marriage proposals all combine to create a hilarious urban romance that will leave you laughing long after the final curtain. The New York Times calls The Liar “an effervescent delight… Mr. Ives’ lyric and comic invention never falters.”
