Circle Players of Piscataway will present “The Liar,” written by David Ives, adapted from the 1644 comedy by Pierre Corneille.
"The Liar" is a farcical tale of a pathological liar named Dorante. The moment he arrives in Paris, this man's true identity becomes a moot point. Every word out of his mouth will be not just a lie but a whopper, except, perhaps, for his instant affection for a young lady, Clarice. Or is it her friend, Lucrece? Just whom he's truly fallen for gets tangled in a zany plot filled with mistaken identities, elaborate fabrications and furious misunderstandings.
Joseph Porter of Piscataway is the director, and Faith Dowgin of Spotswood is the producer.
In the cast are Christie Carver, Somerset; Tara Cioletti, Wayne; Erik Hall, Piscataway; Eric Branda, Somerset; Lew Decker, Millington; Kristina Hernandez, Plainfield; John Bergeron, Hopewell; and Noah Stanzione, Long Valley.
Show dates are Jan. 18-Feb. 3; 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, with one 3 p.m. matinee Sunday, Feb. 3.
The theater is located at 416 Victoria Ave., Piscataway, New Jersey.
