UW-W Theatre/Dance Dept. Presents “The Liar”

The Liar
by Pierre Corneille
translated by Richard Wilbur
directed by Bruce Cohen

The UW-Whitewater student cast and crew invite you to experience the wit and deception of “The Liar” by Pierre Corneille, brought to life through Richard Wilbur’s masterful translation and directed by Bruce Cohen. A charming trickster’s web of falsehoods spirals into chaos, setting the stage for unexpected truths and personal awakenings. Through sharp comedy and heartfelt twists, this classic tale explores the redemptive power of honesty and the possibility of transformation. Join us for a vibrant journey where every lie brings us closer to the truth.
