Synopsis
When a top secret, internal memo from a scientific research facility is leaked to the media, Dr. Walter Kreutzer is forced to take a lie detector test about its origins. With his career on the line, Walter gets tangled up in investigations of bioterrorism and racially motivated killings. As suspicions escalate that Walter’s wife is involved, the play’s riveting plot twists uncover the insidious hypocrisy of government sanctioned discrimination. Perfect Mendacity is part of the 4th Annual First Look Repertory of New Work, which also includes Pursued by Happiness and Fair Use.Content Advisory
