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 layers of deception in modern relationships, exposing the lies we tell the people we love, and the more dangerous ones we tell ourselves.
We enter on a classic adultery set-up: Alice and Michel, both well-turned-out professionals, are pulling up their pants mid-afternoon in a hotel room. It turns out that Michel is good friends with Alice’s husband, Paul, and in turn Paul and Alice know Michel’s wife, Laurence. They’re urban sophisticates doing the dirty with a surface elan, and they’re all intricately connected.
The language of blame is rife: ‘What a bitch!’, ‘What a bastard!’. Lying is fine, it seems, as long as you’re in charge. This is a lighter, perhaps more throwaway play than ‘The Father’ – Zeller’s last play to transfer to the West End – but its quick pace and bracing comic wordplay fail to hide some piercing, lasting truths.
