The Truth and Hotel Packages by Theatre Breaks
It’s back! This smash-hit comedy is back in London for 12-weeks only from July 2027. Step into an evening of razor sharp wit, irresistible charm, and deliciously tangled relationships with The Truth at the Theatre Royal Haymarket starring Stephen Mangan, Ardal O’Hanlon, Sarah Hadland and Janie Dee.
Michel (played by Stephen Mangan) is having an affair with Alice – his best friend’s wife. He believes that a certain amount of deception is necessary to keep relationships functioning smoothly. But as he navigates secrets involving his wife, his mistress, and his closest friends, the lines between truth and lies become increasingly blurred.
This sparkling comedy invites audiences into a world where honesty is celebrated, avoided, manipulated, and questioned at every turn. Clever, sophisticated, and endlessly entertaining, it explores what happens when people insist they want the truth while secretly preferring comforting illusions.
