The Girl Who Was Very Good at Lying

Omnibus Theatre and Jump Spark Theatre today announce the first full-scale staging of The Girl Who Was Very Good at Lying, following an award-nominated short run as part of Jermyn Street Theatre’s Footprints Festival (Off West End OffFest Award – Nominee; 503 International Playwrighting Award – Longlisted).

Rachael Rooney gives a critically acclaimed performance, directed by award-winning director Fay Lomas, in this new piece by multi-award nominated playwright Eoin McAndrew. The creative team includes Amy Hill (Lighting Design), Lex Kosanke (Sound Design), Georgina Makhubele (Movement Direction) and Anna Kezia Williams (Set and Costume Design).  The production opens on 4 November, with previews from 2 November, and runs until 21 November.

Marie McCarthy, Artistic Director of Omnibus Theatre, said today, ‘Omnibus Theatre has a long history of supporting Irish and Northern Irish creatives and audiences, and we are delighted to be bringing The Girl Who Was Very Good at Lying to life once more. The response to the play’s run at the Jermyn Street Theatre’s Footprints Festival was wonderful, and we cannot wait for Omnibus’ audiences to experience the powerhouse performance from Rachael Rooney and Eoin’s darkly comic but deeply touching play.

       

Eoin McAndrew said today, ‘I’m so excited to be bringing this play, with this wonderful team, to the Omnibus! It’s going be very funny and quite dark and a little bit weird and a bit sad and a bit happy and I think audiences will love it!’

Fay Lomas said today, ‘I’m so pleased to be bringing this production to life at the fantastic Omnibus Theatre. Eoin’s play is a brilliantly imaginative and funny exploration of the stories we tell to escape who we are and where we are. The whole team is really excited to bring it to the Omnibus’s audiences.’

Soho Theatre Unveils 2025 Season with Age Is A Feeling Set for Walthamstow Revival

“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.”

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.

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….

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?

       

The Girl Who Was Very Good at Lying is at Omnibus Theatre 2nd – 21st November 2021.
