Stage One Theatre: Would They Lie to You?
Yes actually they would! In the opening play of the 2020 season the Company presents Keith Waterhouse’ escapist comedy ‘Billy Liar’.
Written in 1959, set in Yorkshire, it starred Tom Courtney in the title role of the inevitable film which followed West End stage success. The play tells of the pathological charmer Billy Fisher who cannot tell the truth to save his life. Stuck in a dead end job his fantasies grow ever wilder as do his attempts to seduce the several girls to whom he has become engaged. Increasingly situations get out of hand but Billy talks his way out of them with ever increasing desperation and with growing frustration for his long suffering family and girlfriends.
Mick Page directs an excellent cast of actors both familiar and new to the Company.
