The Four-Faced Liar

by Ger FitzGibbon

Directed by Ger FitzGibbon and Ensemble

After a sold out run earlier this year, Theatre Makers return with Ger FitzGibbon’s The Four-Faced Liar.

The Four-Faced Liar brings its audience on a night journey through the landscape of Cork city and its inhabitants. Moving freely through time and space, the play involves over sixty characters in all – as richly varied in their language as in their situations.  But the core of the piece is the city itself, with the diverse music of its sounds and voices old and new, and the variety of life to be found within it.

Theatre Makers Ltd has brought together a brilliant ensemble cast of actors to bring to life over sixty characters: Gussy Barret, former Lord Mayor, now fallen on hard times; Patsy Dunne, whose home is a Zanussi freezer box; Micha, the Polish cashier in a builder’s supply shop; Bertie Murphy, the shy carpenter who loves Micha from afar; Afric McGlinchy, who is fifteen and knows everything; or Emer Foley, 98, who sleeps under her bed for fear of intruders and wages single-handed war on the government.  Through the sounds of the city and its people, their ghosts and their dreams, their triumphs and disappointments we hear the heartbeat of the place itself and the pulse of the river that runs through it.
