Notes: | Original Playwright - Florian Zeller | |||||
| Michel is six months into an affair with Alice, the wife of his best friend Paul, who's been the lover of Michel's wife, Laurence, for the past 18 months, neatly pulling the wool over Michel's eyes, who, let's face it, isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier, besides being a serial liar. How all this works out is at the heart of The Truth, an impudent, enjoyable farce about lying and the unexpected consequences thereof by France's newest favourite playwright, 35-year-old Florian Zeller. The essential prerequisite for the good liar is the unimpeachable innocence s/he presents to the world. Michel tries hard, but he's not very good at it. Compared to the rest, he's a naif, a babe in the woods, so that disaster almost happens, but hey, this is a farce, so a Happy Ending is a must. | |||||
