Funny, provocative and moving, The Liar's Quartet includes the scripts
with brand new commentary from Mark Thomas' most acclaimed comic,
political theatre. Layered with political insight (and insult), and
peppered with anecdote, this is a bravura performance in its own right.
Each multi-award winning show examines Thomas' obsession with the bonds
that bind us, those of family, friends and communities.
Beginning with Bravo Figaro!, Mark puts on an opera in his dying
father's living room (with the help of Royal Opera House singers) to
explore their relationship. In Cuckooed, he unpicks the betrayal of a
friend and a fellow activist who was in fact employed to spy for the
UK's biggest arms company, BAE systems. And in The Red Shed, Mark
returns to his political roots to harness the power of collective memory
and celebrate the importance of working-class struggles and narratives
in a story he describes as 'a topical tale about the miners' strike'.
