The Liar

Adaptation of Goldoni's comedy "The Liar" for the Croatian National Theatre in Šibenik was prepared by Marijana Nola, a playwright and directed by Zoran Mužić, creating a kind of continuation of earlier adaptation of Molière’s "The Miser", Šibenik Theatre’s hit play staged by the same creative duo. Šibenik version of Goldoni, premiered in December 2015, has been created according to the same principle of modernization and adaptation of the characters and the plot. The plot has got more modern dynamics - comedy of errors here is harsher and more intense while machinations and intrigues of the charming and fickle young Lelio lead to many twists and surprises. At the Acting Festival in Vinkovci Joško Ševo received an award for the role of Doctor Balanzone.
 

„When you cannot say who was better, who was your centre of attention, who made you laugh more, who was your favourite character in the play, who should not get what they want, it is obvious that you have seen a great theatre play which was at the end proved by standing ovations for all the actors participating in the creation of the Liar in the packed theatre “.
