It’s 1666 and the brightest, wittiest salon in Paris is that of Celimene, a beautiful young widow so known for her satiric tongue that she’s being sued for it. Surrounded by shallow suitors, whom she lives off of without surrendering to, Celimene has managed to evade love since her beloved husband died — until today when Frank appears. The School for Lies, a wild farce of furious tempo and stunning verbal display, sexy, saucy, and deliciously off color, written in very contemporary rhyming couplets by award winning playwright David Ives, runs variations on Molière’s Le Misanthrope, which inspired it.
