A web of wit and deception awaits on the vibrant streets of 18th-century Venice. Carlo Goldoni's The Liar: A Comedy In Three Acts delights with a fast-paced mistaken identity plot, where humorous deception and sharp social satire expose the foibles of polite society.

Autorenporträt
Carlo Goldoni was born in Venice in 1707. While studying Law in Pavia he was expelled from his College for having written a satirical tract about the people of Pavia. He continued his legal studies in Modena and finally graduated in Law in Padova. After practising this profession for a short while, he abandoned it in favour of the theatre. An extremely prolific theatrical career followed spanning over sixty years. Goldoni was a prolific playwright, widely regarded as the Italian Molière. He died in Paris in 1793.
