The Four-Faced Liar by Ger Fitzgibbon
It's part of the lore of Cork city that the four clocks on the four faces of Shandon Steeple rarely agree on the exact time - hence the nickname: The Four-Faced Liar.
In this play each of the Four Liars has a voice, and with our narrator, they guide us on a journey through the night world of Cork, through the hidden streams that flow under the city and through the dreams and desires that flow through its people, whether past or present.
