Perfect Mendacity
by Street Corner Arts
Apr. 07 - Apr. 22, 2017
Thursdays-Saturdays
Walter Kreutzer, a microbiologist for a defense contractor, is being investigated by his employers over an incriminating memo that was leaked to the media. Walter thinks his Moroccan wife may have done the whistleblowing, and to protect her - and himself - Walter needs to learn how to defeat a lie detector, and fast. D'avore Peoples, a polygraph consultant, is happy to help - for a price, of course. But D'avore's technique will require Walter to look deep within himself, a terrifying prospect for a man hiding from himself.
With his best friend spying on him, his wife intent on opening old wounds, and D'avore uncovering dark secrets, Walter's desperate journey toward the perfect lie becomes a spiral into paranoia and bitter reckoning.
With Rommel Sulit, A Skola Summers, Indigo Rael, Kenny Bradley, Benjamin Summers, Brock Englandand Reginald C. Brown. Click for profiles of the cast.
