Huron Country Playhouse (South Huron Stage)
A Family Farce
July 16 to August 2, 2025
Written by Sophia Fabiilli
A new Canadian comedy that turns grief into a hilarious journey of unexpected revelations and side-splitting confessions, Liars at a Funeral is a raucous farce bursting with eccentric characters, witty banter, hidden identities, and irreverent humour that will make you laugh at life, death, and family.
When an estranged family gathers to mourn the passing of their matriarch, the funeral erupts into more of a dysfunctional reunion than any of them could predict. Secrets unravel, long-buried truths emerge, a family curse keeps siblings apart, and—surprise!—it turns out grandma has exaggerated her demise in a last-ditch attempt to get the whole wild and woolly clan together under the same roof.
Can this eccentric clan of liars navigate the rocky road to reconciliation? Or will the next 24 hours be the final nail in this dysfunctional family’s coffin? Find out in this uproarious romp that pokes fun at the absurdities of family dynamics and the desperate lengths we go to for love and connection.
Recommended for ages 13 and up.
