Dear Liar is two-actor play based on the letters of George Bernard Shaw and and Mrs. Patrick Campbell (the woman Shaw used as a model for Eliza Doolittle in Pygmalion). For decades Shaw and Campbell conducted a correspondence that this comedy highlights. Shaw, as the letters clear show, was in love with Campbell. Campbell admired Shaw, but she seems more interested in flirting than getting involved in what would have been a messy relationship.
Marsha Mason and Brian Cox are performing an online version of Dear Liar. If you’re interested, here’s the link to access the play: https://www.playbill.com/article/marsha-mason-and-brian-cox-star-in-dear-liar-virtual-reading-september-1
Thanks, George. I may try this. Always thought Marsha Mason had a lovely voice.
Patti, same here. I’m going to try to access it, too.
Seems like it was live-streamed on 1 September only. Did you find an archive?
Todd, I’m still looking for an archive.
A lot of these events are meant to be Not Archived, alas. At least not for now. Call it Zoom culture…a bit of a step backward in some ways!
Todd, the Arts and Performing organizations have not adjusted to the Age of Coronavirus. I’d pay for many online performances if the organizations made it easy to watch and to pay.
