The Truth London tickets

Catch the star-studded revival of Olivier Award-nominated play The Truth, as Florian Zeller's acclaimed comedy of love, lies and deceit returns to the West End for a limited run at Theatre Royal Haymarket in 2027.

Led by actor, comedian and presenter Stephen Mangan, this sharp-witted, deliciously funny play explores just how far the truth can stretch when everyone has a little something to hide.

What is The Truth about?

The Truth is a deliciously witty, fast-paced comedy about two couples, including a pair of best friends, caught in a tangled web of secrets, deception and infidelity. The tightly plotted play unfolds through unexpected revelations, twists and turns as relationships begin to unravel.

As the characters question if honesty is always the best policy, this hilarious yet dramatic story explores the difficult choices people make when love, loyalty and deceit come into play.

What to expect from The Truth

The Truth is an expertly constructed one-act play written by acclaimed French playwright, novelist and screenwriter Florian Zeller. It explores themes that everyone can relate to, from love and friendship to morality and deceit.

First opened in Paris in 2011, The Truth had its UK premiere at London’s Menier Chocolate Factory in 2016, starring Alexander Hanson, Frances O’Connor, Tanya Franks and Robert Portal. The successful production then transferred to Wyndham’s Theatre in the West End, and it was nominated for an Olivier Award for Best Play.

After a sold-out run at the Apollo Theatre in 2026, it's back in the West End for a limited run featuring an incredible quartet of actors. Don't miss this star-studded revival, arriving at Theatre Royal Haymarket in July 2027.
