From a series of misunderstandings and breathtakingly intricate lies springs one of the Western world’s greatest comedies! This sparkling urban romance is set in Paris, 1643, and features Dorante, a charming young man newly arrived in the capital in search of a wife. The challenge? He has a little problem with the truth. Even when it serves no discernible purpose, he compulsively and ceaselessly – er, how shall we say it? Makes false statements? Proffers unsubstantiated assertions? Presents alternative facts? This sublimely funny adaptation, written in rhymed iambic pentameter, is packed full of verbal ingenuity and has thrilled audiences in New York and across the country.
