The Greatest Liar in All the World



A darkly funny sequel to the story of Pinocchio: the carnival is breathing its last breath and with it so is The Liar.  Tired of his lies, he hijacks the performance at gunpoint to tell the real story of his infamous origins.  The panicked cast of freaks and misfits do their best to lead the audience on a journey from his conception to the love and loss of the beautiful blue haired girl.  Filled with live music, puppetry, physical theatre and clowning, The Liar twists and tweaks reality in this raucous cautionary tale.



The cast for this production make for some splendid photo opportunities.  Their superb outfits and makeup set them apart from several displays from the fringe.  There is an air of strangeness keeping these characters active on the High Street.  With the aid of August sun shine and fill in flash the intense attitudes of the actors offer compelling viewing.
