True Love Lies through Aug. 14 at Fullerton's Monkey Wrench Collective

Monkey Wrench Collective is proud to present the third show of their first season: the West Coast Premiere of True Love Lies, Canadian playwright Brad Fraser’s hilarious and heart-breaking 2009 sequel to his famed black comedy Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love.
Kane and Carolyn have a loving relationship, successful careers and a happy, normal life with their two children. Life couldn’t be more perfect...until David, Kane’s ex, comes back to town. As hidden relationships are revealed and the safe veneer of home begins to splinter, this ruthless comedy will leave you laughing...and wondering about your own family secrets. Please note: This production contains nudity and sexual situations.
Directed by Dave Barton, the play stars Christopher Basile, Anthony Cohen, Sabrina Ianacone, Rick Kopps and Jill Cary Martin. True Love Lies runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights through Aug. 14 at 8 p.m. with all seats $20 general admission and $10 for students. Tickets are available online at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/118048 or by calling (800) 838-3006.
