Liars at a Funeral

How do you get your dysfunctional, estranged family together in the same room?  Pretend you’re dead and invite them all to your funeral, of course! Mavis, the matriarch of a family of misfits, fibbers, schemers and identical twins, has a plan to reunite them once and for all. But when an ice storm traps the feuding family  in the funeral home, secrets are revealed, long-hidden truths emerge and the family curse that keeps siblings apart explodes. The result is a wickedly funny comedy about secrets, lies, and the desperate lengths we go to for love and connection.

“A devilishly funny, complicated farce”   (The Slotkin Letter)

Ann says:"What better way to kick off PTE’s season than a comedy about families - why we love ‘em, why they drive us up the wall, and why we do such kooky things when we all get together.  This is a smart, ferociously funny play which will touch your heart too."
