Paris, 1643. Meet Dorante, a charming and affable gallant who cannot tell the truth. New to the city, he chooses Cliton as his valet, unaware that Cliton cannot tell a lie. Can this pathological liar fool his friends, take in the trusting and still, in the end, win the girl of his dreams? Or will he be unwittingly foiled by his virtuous valet? A scintillating and romantic comedy, brilliantly adapted for today’s urban ear by David Ives.
