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.
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.
