The Liar King

Set in Syria, phenomenal Storyteller Clare Murphy weaves a witty satire on the nature of power and stupid kings.
The Liar King is an adaptation of the novel Damascus Nights by exiled Syrian writer Rafik Schami.

Clare blends contemporary reporting and folklore with her playful wit to unmask who has the real power in the world.In Damascus a king is desperate to keep his throne, a citizen is determined to win a life and Syria is at the mercy of a lie-obsessed king.

Girls face monsters, beggars face kings, and no one knows which liar will win.
