James Bridges Theatre with LA Theatre Works Presents THE LIAR, Now thru 4/21
The Liar, a Pierre Corneille comedy about how love can survive amid tall tales, will be presented by the James Bridges Theater tonight, April 18 - April 21.

Theatre Works' syndicated radio theater series, which broadcasts weekly on public radio stations nationwide and can be streamed on demand at www.latw.org.

He falls head over heels for the beautiful Clarice, but mistakes her name for that of her best friend, Lucrece. After lying his way into a world of trouble, can Dorante lie his way back out again? Richard Wilbur's sparkling translation of Pierre Corneille's saucy, fast-paced romantic romp is good naughty fun.
