THE TRUTH

Stephen Mangan, Ardal O’Hanlon, Sarah Hadland and Janie Dee in Florian Zeller's The Truth

A comedy by Florian Zeller

★★★★★ ‘A razor-sharp marital comedy’ – The Times

Two couples. A tangle of secrets. And a truth nobody is ready to face.

From Oscar-winning writer Florian Zeller comes ‘a funny and devious must-see’ (The Guardian).

The Truth is a wickedly entertaining comedy where trust is fragile, loyalty is negotiable, and everyone has something to hide. This star-driven revival of the Olivier-nominated play peels back the lies we tell the people we love, and the ones we tell ourselves…

Starring Tony Award-nominated Stephen Mangan returning to the London stage, alongside comedy icon Ardal O’Hanlon (Father Ted, My Hero), Sarah Hadland (Miranda, The Job Lot), and double Olivier Award-winner Janie Dee, The Truth runs in the West End for a strictly limited 14-week season.

Gripping, surprising and laugh-out-loud funny, The Truth is a night at the theatre you won’t want to miss.

★★★★★ ‘A pitch-perfect hit’ – The Observer

This acclaimed marital comedy by Oscar-winning Florian Zeller explores secrets, lies and modern relationships and features a star-studded cast. The Truth is a must see for theatre lovers searching for a dramatic night of intelligent comedy in London. With a strictly limited West End run, secure your seats now for this unmissable theatrical event.
