Very clever and amusing. The play was very witty, and cleverly constructed. There were many laughs along the way.
The acting was of a very high standard with the exception of Ardal O’Hanlan, who was extremely wooden in his delivery.

Entertaining, laugh out load. Stellar cast, a story with more twists than Chubby Ckecker. A must see.

Hilarious Must See Show What a fabulous show!
The simple story line meant that the audience could anticipate the narrative and the way the actors paused and held everyone aghast at the catastrophe that was unfolding before our eyes was brilliant. Loved it.

Truthfully, it's superb Really great, witty script, superbly acted, great comic timing from all four of the superb cast. Shouldn't pick any one out, but Stephen Mangan is magnificent. Or is he ? Go and see it to find out...

Best show around! We were a party of four, who didn’t really know what to expect ….and have enjoyed one of our best nights ever. The show, the actors and everything about it was splendid beyond words. We haven’t laughed as much in a long, long time!
Hats off to all concerned!

Simply brilliant! An hour and a half, watching the best in the business excel in their craft. Marvellously entertaining and certainly offers escapism from the everyday humdrum!

“Stephen Mangan Shines in a Clever and Hilarious Comedy” A thoroughly enjoyable and very funny production with excellent acting and a clever, engaging story. The Truth explores infidelity, lies and the increasingly blurred line between honesty and deception, creating plenty of humour while also making the audience question what is really true.
Stephen Mangan is outstanding, carrying the entire 90-minute performance with great energy, timing and comic skill. His stage presence is impressive, and he keeps the audience captivated throughout. The rest of the cast — Sarah Hadland, Ardal O’Hanlon and Janie Dee — also deliver excellent performances and complement him perfectly.
The set design is simple but highly effective, allowing for quick scene changes that keep the pace of the play moving smoothly.
A witty, fast-paced and brilliantly performed comedy — highly recommended for anyone looking for an entertaining evening of theatre.

Paula, 04 Aug 2026
A must see We thoroughly enjoyed the show. The acting was excellent and the script was very clever and funny. Constant laughter which does everyone a power of good.
Anthony, 03 Aug 2026
Fun, intelligent and worth seeing I wasn’t sure what to expect as I’d only seen Stephen and Sarah promoting it but so glad I booked. The play was well written, well cast, well acted and above all funny! I loved the format of no interval and an early end. It seemed to help the narrative develop without trying to second guess anything. I would highly recommend you see it 🤗

The Trith The show would have been much better if only they would’ve taken care of the sound system. We were sitting in the balcony on the last seat and for the first two episodes we could barely hear what was being said.. you truly need to install speakers in the balcony so that whilst people cannot see the stage in full because of the bars which are right in the eye of the stage at least one can hear the sound of what is being said. Otherwise it was good.

'So true to the truth' Absolutely true to reality. Spot on!
Maureen, 23 Jul 2026

Good, old-fashioned farce Great cast. Legroom in stalls was better than expected. Drinks expensive.

The Truth Will Out Very farce like 4 hander. Funny, clever with excellent comic timing.
Joanna, 10 Jul 2026
Great laugh The show was brilliant, great actors and story lines throughout. Sat in the grand circle, had to lean forward at some points so better seats would be worth the money.
Jenny, 08 Jul 2026

Jill, 04 Jul 2026
The truth about The Truth Interesting take on morals of modern life and perceptions.Simply presented and lacked a bit of depth

Must See Was absolutely brilliant, my first time at a theatre and wasn’t disappointed.
Mark, 30 Jun 2026
We love Stephen Mangan Very well written and well observed character’s!
Set was well managed
Story kept me interested and a few laugh out loud moments!
My only criticism would be that the ending felt like it was not completely resolved and so left me wanting more of a kaboom !!
Otherwise really really enjoyed everyone in the show !!

A fine French farce. This was a witty, wordy and well acted play that kept the audience guessing. The standing ovation at the end was well deserved.
Patrick, 26 Jun 2026
Witty and Clever Storyline with plenty of twists. Loved this play - it was very entertaining with lots of funny moments and clever twists in the storyline.
Melissa, 20 Jun 2026
So funny and so clever! Stephen Mangan's character was truly exceptional. Laughed from beginning to end.
Caroline, 20 Jun 2026
A laugh from beginning to end This is a very funny show, cleverly written with lots of surprises. Although it tackles a tricky subject it is a laugh from beginning to end. Stephen Mangan is superb in the leading role.and what a delight it is to see the versatile and hugely talented Janie Dee back in the West End.
