The Liar

Cliton can’t tell a lie, but his master Dorante can’t tell the truth. Dorante is in hot pursuit of one woman, but thinks she is another, which leads to amazing mix-ups and breathtakingly intricate lies. Sharp and saucy modern language adds zest to this sparkling urbane romance. An area premiere by David Ives, adapted from Le Menteur by Pierre Corneille, and directed by Doug Scholz-Carlson.
