What’s the worst lie you’ve told? How bad was it? And how far would you go to keep it a secret?
Tom is a charismatic people-pleaser, an expert in empathy, but someone who struggles with the truth. Join him in this hilariously honest true story as he seeks to exorcise ghosts, confess his deepest secrets and somehow un-f*ck his future. As Tom begs the question, if I never lied again and was just myself, would any of my loved ones still love me?
Winner of the Fishamble New Writing Award.
