‘Truth is one thing, fact another thing and just because it is fiction it doesn’t make it a lie.’
P.L. Travers


In Life is too good to be true, we look into the concept of truth in our contemporary pop society. What appears to be a portrait of the infamous lying American journalist Stephen Glass, turns out to be a tour around a group therapy session, several pink ribbons, a little bit of Lady Gaga, lots of scary dogs and a nightmare in a cinema. A tour around all the little lies we tell ourselves every day again. 


Audience reactions and reviews
Amsterdam Fringe judge Tony Lancaster (director of Grahamstown National Arts Festival South Africa): “Life is too good to be true is an intriguing image of a current day youngster in a quarter life crisis. To be real or not to be real, that is the question. It shows promising acting and a very smooth flow from one extreme character to another.”
