Monday March 3rd 2014 at The Black Fox Lounge
An unseasonal deluge of snow made us worried this month... But we decided the show must go on. With the actual snow stopping in the afternoon, and the metro running, it would just be a matter of wading through the drifts to the Science Club... until the Science Club staff couldn't make it to work, and they couldn't open! When this news came in on Monday afternoon, we leapt into action: we needed a new Dupont Circle-based venue and we needed it with some urgency!
In the end, we found ourselves descending the stairs to the quite glamorous basement of the Black Fox Lounge who usually host La Ti Do on Mondays, but they'd postponed due to the snow, and the room was empty. We are exceptionally grateful to them for hosting us at the very last minute. Ladies and gentlemen, this may be the only time we do Perfect Liars Club in the company of a grand piano. I feel we should have had someone playing it... We enjoyed the novelty of a proper ticket booth and a bar at the back of the room, settled down, and the show kicked off!
Our quartet of suspects this month were Becky Strauss, Beth Duckles, Cara Foran and Zach Wilks. All of them gamely fought through the snow and all of them had highly suspicious stories. Did a strange woman really break into Becky's apartment? Did Beth really get a marriage proposal in a house under surveillance by the FBI? Was Cara's date's lack of text communication actually due to alleged alien abduction? And had the US government let 21-year-old Zach do their Bangladesh election monitoring? Our audience were amongst some of the most suspicious in Perfect Liars history. The interrogation was vigorous and thorough. Some of the questions were very astute (others: gratuitous). And then finally, the liar was revealed: Cara! And for the very first time, the majority of the audience had guessed the liar. While Becky got a particularly detailed grilling, and in fact the most astute audience members picked up on a date mix-up, Cara had in fact really doomed herself by bringing too many friends who suspected that if her beau had really believed he was abducted by aliens, she'd probably have mentioned it to them... A brilliant job by all our suspects, and our shrewdest-ever audience!
See you all next month!
