Critic Reviews
Civilised, witty and sophisticated.
Critic Reviews
Playful and poignant, cruel and funny. And that’s the truth.
Critic Reviews
Dark, clever, excruciatingly funny.
Critic Reviews
A pitch-perfect translation by Christopher Hampton . . . The Truth is funny, thought-provoking and
plays seamlessly as a dream . . . It is an entertaining, unsettling, must-see show.
Critic Reviews
Zeller delicately and dazzlingly interlaces the stories of two couples . . . The play is a study in betrayals, but also hypocrisy. Anyone who knows Pinter’s Betrayal will recognise this play as both a homage and a playful farcical replay of the more painful original . . . After the play finished, I wanted to see it immediately again to appreciate Zeller’s dazzling craftsmanship as well as his penetrating insight in to the human capability to deceive. Highly recommended.
