Synopsis Once upon a time, Phil told a lot of lies. This caused more problems than he'd anticipated. Wracked with guilt, having alienated his friends, his family, and pretty much everyone else, he ran away for a bit, intending to spend the rest of his life as a wandering minstrel (or something). But then he realised it was actually all his dad's fault, and that changed everything. Lies About My Father is a story for one performer, a couple of gadgets and some pieces of paper. It's about the things we tell the world to get what we want from it; the difficulties of being a father or a son; and the impossibility of growing up. It also offers definitive proof that the universe revolves around a teenager in rural Northamptonshire. Developed with the support and guidance of Third Angel, Northern Stage and ARC Stockton, it's the first of a planned trilogy of pieces about family.
