Lie, Cheat, and Genuflect
by Billy Van Zandt, Jane Milmore
Highlights
Synopsis
The Buckle brothers, Billy and Tom, are in big trouble: Tom's infallible eye for slow horses has drained away all of Billy's savings and he has borrowed from loan shark Pizza Face Petrillo, who now wants his money back or else!
Involve a stuffy young lawyer, a hard drinking, man hungry housekeeper and a trio of beautiful young women, and you have the recipe for a laugh packed farce of twists, turns, puns and pratfalls as Tom strives mightily to compensate for Billy's "habitual" errors.

"Lie, Cheat... offers puns pratfalls and fun!... Gag after gag! spans French farce’s broad physical humor and elements of a well-made play without neglecting clever dialogue. A show worth pawning your dog to see!"
