"The School for Lies, by David Ives, is a delightful farcical romp through 17th-century France filled with witty banter, clever wordplay, and a healthy dose of irreverence. Southwest Shakespeare Company brings Ives' 90-minute, fast-paced adaptation of Molière's The Misanthrope to life in a well-cast production full of style and panache that features two rich, hilarious, and engaging performances by Breona Conrad and Keath David Hall....Like Molière's classic comedy The Misanthrope, Ives' modern adaptation explores themes of hypocrisy and social satire in 17th-century France. Ives infuses his version with contemporary language, irreverent humor, and some exceptionally humorous rhymes, and both plays share a timeless appeal that offers a hilarious and thought-provoking look at love, truth, and the nature of human relationships....The direction by David Ira Goldstein and Maren Maclean masterfully and seamlessly blends comedy and drama to create a fun and engaging production infused with irreverent wit and charm." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
