David Ives continues to be one of the most prolific - and witty - playwrights in the biz. This was the world premiere of his “translaptation” of The Liar, a 17th-century French comedy by Pierre Corneille.


While in the nation’s capital, NPR had four of us come over to their headquarters to tape a couple of scenes for a segment they were doing on the play and David Ives. You can listen to it here.

It’s always nice to be honored for a show. The following fall, the Shakespeare Theatre gave me an award for my work in The Liar.
