The King's Head Theatre presents the World Premiere of David Crook's new comedy, The Truth-Teller, directed by Svetlana Dimcovic.  The?Truth-Teller will get its world premiere at the King's Head Theatre, Islington, from Monday April 9 - Sunday May 6.  Press Night is Monday 16 April at 7.15 pm.

This comedy is full of twists and turns that bristles with repartee and unexpected situations, and along the way sheds light on key questions about lying, the truth, and the difficult business of keeping a relationship on the rails, 

Jonathan has a chronic lying problem. He can't utter a single true word. He can't even give the real version of his address when he tries to order a minicab. His compulsion wreaks havoc for himself and those around him. Finally, his girlfriend offers him an ultimatum - it's either the lies or her - and this sets him on a path that leads to a revolution in his relationship and his life.

The cast includes Tom Radford, Martha Barnett, Gary Cady, Sammy Kissin, and Naveed Khan.

Writer David Crook's first play for children, written entirely in rhyming verse, gained five star reviews. His modern-day version of the Da Ponte/Mozart 'Don Giovanni' was first produced by Opera East and subsequently went on to several sell-out tours.

Director Svetlana Dimcovic's recent credits include a sell-out run of The Potting Shed by Graham Greene at the Finborough Theatre and 45 Minutes From Here at The Bush Theatre.

Designer?Christian?Taylor has worked with Punchdrunk and Slung Lowe. He is currently working on Dev's Army (Elysian Productions) and Unclean Until The Event, a site specific promenade piece.
