Golden Tongues: The Liars: A Comedy on Tragic Realities of the Postmodern World

by Roger Q. Mason

About the play

In ever-hustling New York City, prestige-obsessed travel influencer Owen Raven rejects his father’s traditional career path. Facing financial ruin, Owen spins comedic deceptions that ultimately backfire. Inspired by Juan Ruiz de Alarcón’s critique of New World ambition, this new satire by Roger Q. Mason examines the lengths people still go to feel recognized, valued and seen.
