The Liar's Quartet
Bravo Figaro!, Cuckooed, The Red Shed
Mark Thomas New Paperback
Postscript summary
As its title hints, The Liar's Quartet is a trio of scripts by the comedian and campaigner Mark Thomas. The first tells how he staged an opera for his dying father; the second focuses on a fellow activist who was spying for an arms manufacturer; while in the third he returns to his political roots in the 1984 Miners’ Strike.
Product information
Full publisher description
Funny, provocative and moving, The Liar's Quartet includes the scripts with brand new commentary from Mark Thomas' most acclaimed comic, political theatre. Layered with political insight (and insult), and peppered with anecdote, this is a bravura performance in its own right. Each multi-award winning show examines Thomas' obsession with the bonds that bind us, those of family, friends and communities. Beginning with Bravo Figaro!, Mark puts on an opera in his dying father's living room (with the help of Royal Opera House singers) to explore their relationship. In Cuckooed, he unpicks the betrayal of a friend and a fellow activist who was in fact employed to spy for the UK's biggest arms company, BAE systems. And in The Red Shed, Mark returns to his political roots to harness the power of collective memory and celebrate the importance of working-class struggles and narratives in a story he describes as 'a topical tale about the miners' strike'.
