Adapted from the legendary correspondence between George Bernard Shaw and celebrated actress Mrs. Patrick CampbellJerome Kilty’s Dear Liar explores the relationship between these two fiery and fascinating personalities. In Kilty’s masterful compilation between “Stella and Joey”…(which they nicknamed one another)…in scenes of both lovemaking and furious confrontation, they verbally duel with each other, all the while making passionate love through their gorgeously exorbitant exchanges.

David Staller, who has dedicated two decades to all things Shavian, embodies George Bernard Shaw as no other actor could possibly approach, and the Tony-nominated Melissa Errico, acclaimed for her performance as Eliza Doolittle, consumes the role of Mrs. Patrick Campbell, who was herself Shaw’s original Eliza Doolittle in Pygmalion.

Inspired by correspondence of fact and fiction that’s stood the test of time, Irish Repertory Theatre's The Letters Series explores the thrill of witnessing great relationships unfold and sometimes shape our history in an age of instant communication. Dear Liar and Love Letters allow us to look “behind the curtain” and examine the universal.
