How To Survive A
Post-Truth Apocalypse
By Francesca Beard
“Imagine if we could stop lying, imagine if everyone just told the fucking truth.”
Join Francesca Beard, your sham-shaman, for an epic journey through the underworld of untruth.
Liar, Liar is a witty, theatrical deep-dive into the lies we tell and the fictions we live by. From political spin to polite half-truths (“We live in a meritocracy” or “Thanks Grandma, I love it”), this show unpicks the fabric of falsehoods in all their forms.
In a world that’s “had enough of experts,” Liar, Liar explores what it means to live in a post-truth culture. What’s the global cost of make-believe? What’s a lie made of? And can the truth still set us free?
Blending spoken word, storytelling, and sharp social commentary, this is a funny, unsettling, and brilliantly live performance for anyone navigating the blur between fact and fiction.
