The Liar: A Comedy

A Comedy - (12m, 4f) "The story centers on Lelio, a young Venetian incapable of telling the truth. As Lelio spins one "witty inventions" after another, complications multiply. Before long, Lelio has thrown the budding romances of two young sisters into turmoil, discredited their rightful suitors, deceived his own befuddled father, and created an impossible tangle of misunderstandings. Written in 1750, The Liar is lively and stylish comedy at its finest!" "Goldoni's ingenuity is to makes us feel seduced by Lelio's concoctions, then able to laugh at the traps Lelio sets for himself."
