​

False Claims—a fast-paced, knockabout, zany comedic bauble—traces the despicable schemes of Dennis, a devious, layabout nephew, who poses as his late aunt’s husband in order to collect her life insurance money—but, as always, farcical complications ensue.

​

Reviews:

Trevor Abes, Mooney on Theatre:

​

• “'False Claims' is a rare farce that flirts with psychological depth.”

​

• “As farces go, he takes things in a less-travelled direction, contrasting the humor, absurdity, and zany antics you’d expect from the genre with deeply troubled characters who are in many ways not exaggerations at all.”

​

​

Isabella Perrone, Broadway World Toronto:

​

• “The tight script...and sharp plot twists make FALSE CLAIMS a great example of comedic farce…”
