STORY
Two couples. Friendship, suspicion, deceit… and the truth.
Vain and fidgety Michel is having an affair with Alice, the elegant wife of his unemployed friend Paul. But when his own wife Laurence starts to pose tricky questions, we sense he’s not the only character with an agenda. As Michel struggles to sustain his special blend of hypocrisy and duplicity, the balance of power shifts and we’re less and less sure whose chicanery is the most extreme.
CAST
The cast includes Tanya Franks (EastEnders, Broadchurch and Pulling), Alexander Hanson (Stephen Ward , A Little Night Music), Frances O’Connor (Mr Selfridge, The Missing and Madame Bovary) and Robert Portal (Around the World in 80 Days, Communicating Doors).
CREATIVE TEAM
Directed by Lindsay Posner, The Truth will have set and costume design by Lizzie Clachan, lighting by Howard Harrison and sound by Gregory Clarke. The show will have original music by Matthew Scott.
