White's Lies
# White's Lies

White's Lies is a play written by Ben Andron.

The play began preview showings off-Broadway on April 12, 2010 and officially opened on May 6, 2010. Initial reviews were mixed; the New York Times called it a "crass, charmless vehicle" that "plays like an episode of How I Met Your Mother that would be killed in the writers’ room." while Entertainment Weekly gave it a C rating and said it was "the other kind of bad play — the one that's so ridiculous that you can't help giggling at the gaping, craterlike holes in the story and the cliché-spouting characters running around Manhattan in incredibly fabulous, incredibly impractical, incredibly expensive shoes."

The show closed on June 13, 2010 after 26 previews and 46 regular performances.

## Synopsis

Some guys are scared stiff at the prospect of settling down, getting married, having kids...and Joe White is no exception. He’s a divorce lawyer, representing one of his many ex-girlfriends, and above all else, he’s a bachelor who wouldn’t have it any other way. So when his mother desperately wants him to start a family, he’ll do the next best thing: make one up. What could go wrong?
