The False Servant

A wealthy woman disguises herself as a man in order to investigate a potential suitor — and finds the truth is not what she expected. If a man is set in his ways, how far should the woman go to prove him wrong? In this game of sexual manners, the roles of master and servant intertwine, and nothing is as it seems. What is really true — and who is false? Lust, deceit and avarice run rampant in Martin Crimp’s translation of Marivaux’s great comedy, The False Servant, given a fresh rendering (set in 1950’s Paris) by TimeSpace Theater Company.
