Traubert Productions & 2046 Productions to Present A LIE OF THE MIND, Begin. 11/1

Traubert Productions and 2046 Productions will present Sam Shepard's 'A Lie of the Mind'. First produced in New York in 1985, Shepard's play has endured as a genuine American classic.

Telling the story of two families united by marriage, 'A Lie of the Mind' deals with the way the ramifications of the past and the relationships they create can carry on for years even after death. As reviewed by the The New Yorker magazine upon its release, "Sam Shepard is surely the only dramatist alive who can tell a story as sad and frightening as this one and make such a funny play of it without ever skimping on its emotional depth."

Directed by Matthew Schofield and featuring a cast of local talents including Kolby Hume, Matthew Von Richards, Shawn Crapo, Jessica Miller, Christian Maurice, Peggi McCarthy, Susan Turner, and Paul Strand, 'A Lie of the Mind' looks to be one of the highlights of the fall theatre season in Portsmouth!

'A Lie of the Mind' will open at The Players Ring on Friday, November 1st and will run weekends with performances at 8:00pm Friday & Saturday and Sundays starting at 7:00pm with a special 2:00pm matinee performance on Sunday, November 17th.
