"The Lying Kind"
Hapless British Bobbies Blunt and Gobbel have one last duty to fulfill before they can finish their Christmas Eve shift: inform the sweet old couple at No. 58 of some terrible news. Yet Blunt and Gobbel didn’t join the force to ruin people’s lives. Once inside the house, their total ineptitude and humane inability to tell the truth leads to an endless -- and absolutely uproarious series of misunderstandings. Enjoy this modern-day farce by one of Britain’s most provocative playwrights. [DETAILS]
