THE GIRL WHO WAS VERY GOOD AT LYING

PRESENTED BY OMNIBUS THEATRE AND JUMP SPARK THEATRE

In her tiny Northern Irish town, Catriona decides to give an American tourist a creative tour of the local area's history.

"I've always been a good liar. If you have a skill, you have to hone it, or else you're spitting in the face of God's bounty."

Nominated for an Off West End OffFest Award

Longlisted for the 503 International Playwriting Award

People keep telling Catriona that she's not very well. She disagrees but appreciates their concern. Admittedly, she does have a history of making stuff up, but she's getting better.

But when she meets An Attractive American Tourist, she decides to show him around her small Northern Irish town. And to keep him entertained, she might have to blur the line between fact and fiction, just a little…

"Rooney is spellbinding. Highly recommended."

Fringe Review

Soon, she's regaling him with stories of cannibalism, ghostly statues, and the largest ever orgy held in Ireland on consecrated ground. But how long can she keep hold of her stories?

"Filmic and very funny."
