Omnibus Theatre & Jump Spark Theatre announce THE GIRL WHO WAS VERY GOOD AT LYING

TGWWVGAL

Omnibus Theatre and Jump Spark Theatre have announced the first full-scale staging of The Girl Who Was Very Good at Lying, running at the Clapham venue from 2-21 November.

Rachael Rooney gives a critically acclaimed performance, directed by Fay Lomas, in this new piece by multi-award nominated playwright Eoin McAndrew.

The creative team includes Amy Hill (Lighting Design), Lex Kosanke (Sound Design), Georgina Makhubele (Movement Direction) and Anna Kezia Williams (Set and Costume Design). 

“I’ve always been a good liar. If you have a skill, you have to hone it, or else you’re spitting in the face of God’s bounty.”

People keep telling Catriona that she’s not very well. She disagrees, but appreciates their concern. Admittedly, she does have a history of making stuff up, but she’s getting better.

When she meets An Attractive American Tourist, she decides to show him around her small Northern Irish town. And to keep him entertained, she might have to blur the line between fact and fiction, just a little….

Soon, she’s regaling him with stories of cannibalism, ghostly statues, and the largest ever orgy held in Ireland on consecrated ground. But how long can she keep hold of her stories?

Artistic Director of Omnibus Theatre, Marie McCarthy, said: “Omnibus Theatre has a long history of supporting Irish and Northern Irish creatives and audiences, and we are delighted to be bringing The Girl Who Was Very Good at Lying to life once more. The response to the play’s run at the Jermyn Street Theatre’s Footprints Festival was wonderful, and we cannot wait for Omnibus’ audiences to experience the powerhouse performance from Rachael Rooney and Eoin’s darkly comic but deeply touching play.”
