<br>
Paris, 1643. Dorante is a charming young man newly arrived in the
capital, and he has but a single flaw: He cannot tell the truth.
In quick succession he meets Cliton, a manservant who cannot tell
a lie, and falls in love with Clarice, a charming young woman whom
he unfortunately mistakes for her friend Lucrece. What our hero
regrettably does not know is that Clarice is secretly engaged to
his best friend Alcippe. Nor is he aware that his father is trying
to get him married to Clarice, whom he thinks is Lucrece, who
actually is in love with him. From all these misunderstandings and
a series of breathtakingly intricate lies springs one of the
Western world’s greatest comedies, a sparkling urban romance as
fresh as the day Pierre Corneille wrote it, brilliantly adapted
for today by "All in the Timing’s" David Ives.<br>
