La Vérité by Florian Zeller, played by the French HKTA
We don't get to do much theater here, especially not in French, and our experience of amateur troupes in Shanghai wasn't exactly stellar. This however was mindblowing, despite the minimalist setting (a flat couch and a few chairs in the middle of an underground storage room in Central.) La Vérité (Truth) is the story of two couples and how they lie to each other in so many ways. The play itself is wonderfully written and witty, with a frankly stunning ending. The interpretation was masterful, all four actors superb with a special mention to the adorably despicable Michel who manages to lie, justify lying and be offended when he's being lied to in a way that is more real than real. Fantastic evening.
