The Truth returns to Theatre Royal Haymarket in 2027

Florian Zeller's comedy The Truth comes back to the West End at Theatre Royal Haymarket for 12 weeks only, from 29 July to 16 October 2027, after a sold out run. Stephen Mangan, Ardal O'Hanlon, Sarah Hadland and Janie Dee reunite in Lindsay Posner's production, translated by Christopher Hampton.

The Truth: two couples and a tangle of secrets

Michel is having an affair with his best friend's wife and is sure a few lies keep life running smoothly. As the deceptions multiply, nobody is quite sure who is fooling whom. It is a sharp, very funny 90 minutes from the Oscar winning writer of The Father.

Stephen Mangan plays Michel, alongside Ardal O'Hanlon, Sarah Hadland and double Olivier Award winner Janie Dee. Ardal O'Hanlon appears in London until 4 September 2027 and does not join the UK tour; further casting is to be announced.
