In a remote seaside village in Maine, a legendary film star (Kane) shows up to buy the home of an elderly couple. When she encounters a young local woman (Sumner) who appears never to have heard of her, “Ruth Elizabeth” stakes a claim on her distant past and plays a relentless game of cat and mouse with her new “assistant.” In this comic thriller, Lucas twists and turns the audience around questions of memory, identity and truth-telling.
THE LYING LESSON will feature scenic design by Neil Patel, costume design by Ilona Somogyi, lighting design by Russell H. Champa and original music and sound design by Broken Chord.
Starring Emmy Award® winner Carol Kane and Mickey Sumner, directed by Pam MacKinnon.
