The Truth Returns to London's West End in 2027

London's West End will welcome back Florian Zeller's comedy The Truth for a limited 12-week engagement at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, beginning Thursday, July 29, 2027. Production company Melting Pot announced the return following a sold-out run at the Apollo Theatre, with the original principal cast reuniting before the production travels to venues across the United Kingdom.

Stephen Mangan, Ardal O’Hanlon, Sarah Hadland and Janie Dee will reprise their roles in the production, which Lindsay Posner directs. Christopher Hampton translated Zeller's Olivier-nominated play, which examines deception, infidelity and competing ideas about honesty within two couples.

The story follows Michel, played by Mangan, who is having an affair with his best friend's wife. As the deception unfolds, Michel tries to persuade himself and those around him that honesty is overrated.

Producer Simon Friend said the previous London engagement demonstrated strong audience demand and brought the cast together for another season.

"The Truth was a sell-out sensation over its run at the Apollo Theatre, which finished a few weeks ago, and our magnificent cast had such fun with Florian's comic masterpiece that they’re reuniting to bring more gales of laughter to the West End. We’re enormously grateful to Len Blavatnik and Danny Cohen for welcoming the show into the Theatre Royal Haymarket for another season next year before heading out across the country," said Simon Friend, the production's producer.

The returning cast brings together performers known for their television and stage work. Mangan has appeared in The Split and Episodes, while O’Hanlon is known for Father Ted and How To Get To Heaven From Belfast. Hadland's credits include Miranda and The Job Lot, and Dee is a two-time Olivier Award winner.

Following its 12-week London season, The Truth is scheduled to tour major UK venues in autumn 2027. The announced stops include the Theatre Royal in Brighton, The Lowry in Salford, The Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham and the Theatre Royal in Glasgow.

The production's return follows its completed Apollo Theatre engagement and will bring the same principal cast to the Theatre Royal Haymarket before the planned nationwide tour.
