"The Truth" in the West End

Just seen "The Truth", on the basis of a couple of 5star reviews and a pedigree which includes Christopher Hampton and the usually discriminating Chocolate Factory Theatre.

 

Don't be fooled. The truth about "The Truth" is that although a simple-minded West End crowd seemed ready to indulge this effort (an 8pm start so perhaps they were longer at the bar than usual) it is probably worth saving your money.

 

It may have been more fun in earlier incarnations but in the West End it came over as a flimsy, predictable, slow, derivative play. Sitcom acting, particularly by a male lead who has however been praised in some reviews. Just thought I should offer a warning.
