Biography and background
Liars at a Funeral is crafted by Sophia Fabiilli, an award-winning playwright and educator recognized for her sharp comedic voice. Fabiilli’s accolades include The Second City Award for Best New Comedy and the Ellen Ross Stuart Opening Doors Award. The show’s Canadian premiere occurred in 2023 at the Blyth Festival in Ontario, and it quickly became a favorite, touring to stages such as the Thousand Islands Playhouse where it set a company-record attendance. The production blends farce, timing, and heartfelt moments to tell a story about how lies and family secrets shape a family dynamic — and how a seemingly final gesture can bring relatives together in unexpected ways.
