Reviewer Quotes

“ Topical, cynical, edgy and gut-bustingly funny. ”

Orange County Register

“ Deliciously wicked ”

Anaheim Bulletin

GHOULISHLY HOLIDAY FARCICAL MAYHEM!!
With plot development as satisfying as it is unexpected, Anthony Neilson’s The Lying Kind is one of the darkest screwball holiday comedies to hit Orange County in years! When two dense cops decide that withholding the truth would be nicer than breaking bad news on Christmas Eve, outlandish misunderstandings quickly get out of hand. The Lying Kind will have you laughing out loud at the precarious load of farcical indignities that land on the heads of these hapless cops.
