Review by ZACHARY BERNSTEIN

June 11, 2019

What I liked

Kirkland has a lot of funny and interesting stories to tell and it’s great to hear what goes on behind the mind of a former flat-earther. He breaks down his personal story to illustrate the broader context of his fellow conspiracy theorists.

What I didn't like

Often, I felt the show’s stories could have benefited from some added sound design.

My overall impression

James Kirkland is a lovable kook and he presents his tales of getting sucked into various cult-like activities less like a performer and more of a storyteller.

Director Brendan Hunt and producer Kristen Boule are each Fringe veterans and any project they attach their names to is worthy of your attention. Lord of the Lies is no exception. Check it out!
