The Truth

Two couples.



Friendship, suspicion, deceit.



And the truth.



Florian Zeller's The Truth, in the English translation by Christopher Hampton, premiered at The Chocolate Factory, London, in association with Theatre Royal Bath. It follows the phenomenal success of The Father (Theatre Royal Bath, Tricycle, London and West End) and The Mother (Theatre Royal Bath, Tricycle, London), both by Florian Zeller and translated by Christopher Hampton.



Christopher Hampton was born in the Azores in 1946. He wrote his first play, When DidYou Last See My Mother? at the age of eighteen. Since then, his plays have included The Philanthropist, Savages, Tales from Hollywood, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, WhiteChameleon and The Talking Cure. He has translated plays by Ibsen, Molière, von Horváth, Chekhov and Yasmina Reza (including Art and Life x 3).



Florian Zeller (b. 1979) is a French novelist and playwright. His works include The Fascination of Evil (Prix Interallié 2004), Artifical Snow, Lovers or Something Like it and Julien Parme. His plays include The Father and The Mother.
