THE SCHOOL FOR LIES OFF-BROADWAY REVIEWS

Opening Night: May 1, 2011

Show	NY TIMES	DAILY NEWS	EW	TM	BACKSTAGE

Synopsis: Don't miss the latest Classic Stage Company production by the team that brought you last season's acclaimed hit Venus in Fur! Mamie Gummer (Uncle Vanya, "Off the Map") and Hamish Linklater (Merchant of Venice, "The New Adventures of Old Christine") lead a stellar cast in The School for Lies, David Ives' and Walter Bobbie's sparkling take (in hilarious verse!) on Molière's immortal comic masterpiece, The Misanthrope.

Broadway Reviews

NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:

"Perhaps a cautionary note should be inserted in the program for “The School for Lies,” David Ives’s delightful period comedy at the Classic Stage Company. When you emerge from this impish comic playwright’s glittering tribute to Molière, written entirely in verse, your head will be so dizzy with syncopated rhyme that you’ll almost expect to find yourself speaking and thinking in chiming couplets."

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS REVIEW:

"Plays often post pre-show warnings: Gunshots are fired. Herbal cigarettes are smoked. Strobe lights are used. Classic Stage Company's "School for Lies" ought to post one, too: Finger food sails into the audience."

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY REVIEW:

"Frank (Hamish Linklater) loathes social niceties. He’ll say ''please'' and ''thank you,'' but he won't tell you that your hair looks nice if it doesn't. He was, as his name plainly states, born to be frank — and to detest anyone who isn't. "

THEATERMANIA REVIEW:

"David Ives offers up a grand -- and somewhat farcical -- riff on Moliere's The Mistanthrope in The School for Lies, now playing at Classic Stage Company in an utterly delightful production under the direction of Walter Bobbie. "

BACKSTAGE REVIEW:

"Moliere, the brilliant author of "Tartuffe" and "The School for Wives," Gets a tasty, tart updating from David Ives."
