*/THE REVIEWERS LOVED "THE LIAR"/**/ /*
*/FINAL WEEKEND AT SCHENECTADY CIVIC PLAYERS/*
*/"To be a successful liar requires an agile mind, and The Schenectady
Civic Players production of "The Liar" is both nimble and deft. Using
the 2010 adaptation of the 1644 comedy of Pierre Corneille by David
Ives, director Joseph Fava kept the action going, as lies and their
ensuing confusion accelerated until the head-spinning ending. . .
./**/For a tongue-twisting and fast-paced evening of comedy, "The Liar"
is a success."/**-- Mary Jane Leach/-- TIMES-UNION 10/19/14/*
*/". . . . Dear Joe, such a novel,
Cheerful way to start the Playhouse season
Provides theatergoers with a reason
To see this play. So merci et au revoir, Monsieur Fava.
Sincerely, P. Lamar" /**(Excerpted from review written entirely in "The
Liar's" verse style**/) /**Paul Lamar/- THE SUNDAY GAZETTE 10/19/14 /*
