The Liar August 17, 2012

PRODUCER: Marin Shakespeare Company
WHAT: "The Liar"
By David Ives, adapted from the comedy by Pierre Corneille

Marin Shakespeare Company continues its 2012 summer festival season with the Bay Area premiere of "The Liar." Robert Currier directs this saucy, fast-paced romantic romp about a charming, young man who is a pathological liar. Playwright David Ives' clever adaptation of Pierre Corneille's 17th-century French farce features rhyming couplets, high energy and comic timing.

The MSC summer festival features a variety of special events and discounted ticket options including “Pay What You Will” preview performances. See the complete performance schedule, event information and order tickets at Marin Shakespeare Company’s website at www.marinshakespeare.org
