Dorante is charming, handsome … and a pathological liar! The high jinks rope in a pair of lovely lasses, a gullible father, an earnest servant, a jealous courtier and, just to rev up the farce, identical twin maids! Can he keep the lies going and still win the girl in the end? Will his pants truly be on fire? This hilarious, high-speed farce of fabrication proceeds with one misunderstanding after another and a little lust to fuel the action.
“Think of the evening as 17th-century Parisian stand-up, a night at L’Improv.
You’ll giggle, you’ll groan. Mostly, though, you’ll be tickled.” -Washington Post
“The Liar whips past at high-speed, like spun sugar gathered from a cotton candy machine.”
-DC Theatre Scene
