- Summary:
- In this classic farce, a young man pretends to be a war hero to impress a pretty girl. As his lies progress, so do his troubles – with hilarious results. Playwright Pierre Corneille's comedy of manners is considered a groundbreaking work which influenced contemporaries such as the young Molière. Includes a conversation with Larry F. Norman, Professor of French Literature, Theater, and Performance Studies at the University of Chicago. Lead funding for The Liar was made possible with support from the Sidney E. Frank Foundation.
