What is The Truth about?
The Truth tells the story of two married couples caught in a tangled web of adultery and deception. Michel, a middle-aged businessman, is married to Laurence, but has been having a seven month affair with Alice, the wife of his best friend Paul. things come to a head when the couples spend a night away in a hotel. Laurence grows suspicious, and Michel becomes paranoid that Paul knows about the affair. In between drinks and tennis matches and loaded conversations, the question of who knows what brings these characters into a sweltering climax of paranoia and manipulation.
From Oscar-winning writer Florian Zeller comes a wickedly entertaining comedy about trust, loyalty, and secrets, in a star-studded and highly anticipated revival of an Olivier-nominated play about the lies we tell the people we love and the ones we tell ourselves. Directed by Lindsay Posner (A View From the Bridge), The Truth is adapted by Christopher Hampton (Les Liaisons Dangereuses) and returns after last being staged a decade ago at Wyndham's Theatre, following a record-breaking run at the Menier Chocolate Factory. Tony Award-nominated Stephen Mangan (The Split, Episodes) returns to the London stage following his acclaimed performance in Mike Bartlett's Unicorn at the Garrick Theatre. He's joined by comedy icon Ardal O'Hanlon (Father Ted, How to Get to Heaven From Belfast), Sarah Hadland (Miranda, The Job Lot), and double Olivier Award-winner Janie Dee (Follies). The Truth is Zeller's most electrifying comedy achievement, packed with psychological insight and biting humour.
Don't miss this razor-sharp, bitingly witty marital comedy when it returns to the West End after a decade.
