Contemporary slang meets 17th-century farce in The School for Lies. Adapted from Moliere's The Misanthrope, David Ives'The School for Lies transforms Molière's classic into a modern satire told entirely through verse. The result is a delightfully incongruous comedy of manners that lets you peer inside the Parisian salon of Celimene, a young widow with a sharp tongue and plenty of suitors. A Chicago native, Ives was nominated for a Tony Award in 2012 for his Venus in Fur. Amy Rummenie directs this Park Square Theatre production of The School for Lies, which includes Kate Guentzel, Anna Hickey and John Middleton.
