About
It was due to be on our stage in the summer of 2020, but we all know what happened there…
Everyone has secrets. Certainly former shop steward George, his right-wing MP daughter Janet, investigative journalist Peggy, and senior civil servant Sefton, do.
And all it’s going to take is one tech-savvy teenager with a mind of his own and time on his hands to bring their worlds tumbling down – and maybe everyone else’s along with them. A storm is brewing…
Truth Will Out is an up-to-the-minute satire on family, relationships, politics and the state of the nation from the pen of one of our greatest modern moralists, Alan Ayckbourn.
This rehearsed reading by professional actors will be the first time the author has ever heard it read aloud (and rumour has it he fancies playing one of the parts himself).
