Lie With Me
Whenever an evil act is committed by a person we very rarely think of the impact this will have on their parents. Brave New World and Liz Hobart however explore this very concept with the new production Lie With Me which opens early next week.
Lie With Me follows a mother’s desperate attempt to survive in a world that subsequently names her the mother of a monster following the arrest of her son for triple murder. Along the way her friends text their support but always had their doubts, while her weatherman ex-husband becomes a media sensation in the aftermath of the televised tragedy. What follows is a kaleidoscopic journey of investigation into a mother’s past and future.
Combining dynamic physical and visual storytelling, the show creates an intimate portrait of a woman facing the greatest crisis a mother can face. Lie With Me is a visceral, honest work exploring the limits of the human heart.
Brave New World is the perfect production partner for this particular piece of theatre as they have a strong commitment to supporting and fostering the growth of emerging artists such as Hobart.
Lie With Me is a semi-devised work from writer Liz Hobart and director Warwick Doddrell with an all female cast headlined by Lyn Pierse.
