...premise is timely and depressing: everybody lies. (The pilot face-analyzes Dick Cheney, Eliot Spitzer and various notorious celebs to drive home the point; expect a Bernard Madoff reference any episode now.) "The average person tells three lies in 10 minutes of conversation," Lightman crisply informs us, and while Lie to Me balances him with a partner (Kelli Williams) so earnest and sweet that she eats pudding for breakfast, his jaded worldview is borne out.

There's a long-standing ritual among theatergoers of playing connect-the-dots between public figures and Hare's versions of them. Some would say that's exactly the kind of reaction the playwright should expect - even aim for. "If you want to write about subjects that are based on historical events, and you want people to be challenged, to look at these events in a different light, you shouldn't be surprised when they confuse reality with fiction," says Richard Eyre, former director...
