Writers' Theatre Stages THE LIAR, Now thru 7/28

By:

Writers' Theatre will present THE LIAR, tonight, May 21 - July 28, 2013 at 325 Tudor Court, Glencoe, Ill. The Liar by David Ives, adapted from the comedy by Pierre Corneille, will be directed by William Brown.

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.

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

Creative Team: Scenic Designer Keith Pitts, USA; Costume Designer Rachel Anne Healy, USA; Lighting Designer Jesse Klug, USA; Sound Designer Andrew Hansen; Properties Designer Julie Eberhardt; and Production Stage Manager David Castellanos*.

*Denotes Members of Actors' Equity Association, the Union of Professional Actors and Stage Managers
