The Truth in London

Starring:

Stephen Mangan, Sarah Hadland, Ardal O'Hanlon, Janie Dee

Stephen Mangan, Ardal O'Hanlon, Sarah Hadland and Janie Dee are set to star in a West End revival of Florian Zeller's razor-sharp and darkly witty marital comedy about truth, lies, and everything in between. Don't miss the star-studded revival of this Olivier-nominated play when it comes to the Apollo Theatre for a limited run from 9th June.

Why you should watch The Truth

Audiences and critics alike have loved The Truth, which has been praised as “a pitch-perfect hit” (The Observer), “a razor-sharp marital comedy” (The Times), and “a funny and devious must-see” (The Guardian).
This new revival features a star-studded and dazzlingly talented cast that are sure to do justice to this dizzying story, including Stephen Mangan, Ardal O'Hanlon, Sarah Hadland and Janie Dee.
With twists and turns, secrets and lies, wonderfully complex characters, and biting humour, The Truth will leave you on the edge of your seat from start to finish, making it a thrilling theatrical experience.

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.

The show was brilliant, great actors and story lines throughout. Sat in the grand circle, had to lean forward at some points so better seats would be worth the money.

wafre thin story about the omnipresence of lying

After 10 minutes of hearing liars get upset about being lied too, you have had the gist of the show. Snooze fest afterwards. Give it a miss.

We love Stephen Mangan

Very well written and well observed character’s! Set was well managed Story kept me interested and a few laugh out loud moments! My only criticism would be that the ending felt like it was not completely resolved and so left me wanting more of a kaboom !! Otherwise really really enjoyed everyone in the show !!

A fine French farce.

This was a witty, wordy and well acted play that kept the audience guessing. The standing ovation at the end was well deserved.

THE PLAY WAS HYSTERICAL. I HAVE BEEN GOING TO PLAYS IN LONDON FOR FIFTY-SIX YEARS AND THIS WAS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST PLAYS THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN. MY WIFE AND I WERE LAUGHING UNTIL WE CRIED. AND SO DID THE REST OF THE AUDIENCE GO AND SEE THIS PLAY. AS SOON AS YOU READ THIS REVIEW ORDER TICKETS NOW. YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS IT. THE CAST WAS EXCELLENT. THE LINES WERE FANTASTIC. I GUESS YOU COULD SAY THAT I ENJOYED THE PLAY. GO AND SEE IT! YOU’LL BE THRILLED THAT YOU DID. FOR US IT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TRIP TO LONDON.

A laugh from beginning to end

This is a very funny show, cleverly written with lots of surprises. Although it tackles a tricky subject it is a laugh from beginning to end. Stephen Mangan is superb in the leading role.and what a delight it is to see the versatile and hugely talented Janie Dee back in the West End.
