The Truth
Tickets From £23

Venue

Apollo Theatre

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

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.
