About the Show

Some lie for attention.
Some lie to protect others.
Some lie to get ahead.
Ben lies because the truth let him down.
Tracey?
She just lies.
 
Two members of Liar’s Anonymous strike up a relationship outside the group and enter into a daring game of fantasy and deceit. Can they hold onto any sense of the truth or will the lies consume them?
 
With Fake News, AI, polarized political propaganda, scams, catfishing & trolling, the truth in the modern day is more about presentation than authenticity.
 
“A fresh and compelling narrative, driven by powerful performances by the two actors who are clearly delighting in the mayhem they are creating” ~ Bouquets & Brickbats
 
“The show’s layered complex script made this an intriguing watch, and it ended brilliantly.” "I’m not lying when I say this is a very interesting play” ~ Three Weeks Edinburgh
 
After a huge success at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe Festival (sell-out performances and 4+ star reviews), Murmuration Studios brings the full version of ‘Lie Club’ on a UK/US tour from October-December. 
 
We’d love to welcome you to our little club while we’re here in LA but if you can’t make it, don’t worry… just make sure your excuse is a really good lie.
 
Written by and Starring: 
Rachel De Fontes + Peter Jeffries
 
Rachel and Peter trained together at Drama Centre London. Rachel is also an alumni of the Experimental Theatre Wing at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and Peter is an alumni of the London School of Dramatic Arts.

Recent work: The Infernal Machine (Paramount) & Mike Bartlett’s An Intervention at Riverside Studios starring herself and The Crown’s Ed McVey: “De Fontes had an ease about her that made her entirely gripping to watch” ~ London Theatre Reviews
