Photo Flash: First Look at Alexander Hanson and Frances O'Connor in THE TRUTH at Menier Chocolate Factory

The latest play from French sensation Florian Zeller, who has already enjoyed a pair of London hits with THE FATHER and THE MOTHER, is currently onstage at Menier Chocolate Factory. THE TRUTH is about two couples - their friendship, suspicion and deceit. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

In Christopher Hampton's new version of the play, Lindsay Posner directs Tanya Franks (series regular in Eastenders, Broadchurch and Pulling), Alexander Hanson (title role in STEPHEN WARD, and recently appeared in A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC at the Menier), Frances O'Connor (Tom and Viv at the Almeida Theatre, and on TV Mr Selfridge, The Missing and Madame Bovary), and Robert Portal (recently appeared in AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS at St James Theatre, and in Alan Ayckbourn's COMMUNICATING DOORS at the Menier).

The production, which features set and costume design by Lizzie Clachan, lighting design by Howard Harrison, sound design by Gregory Clarke and original music by Matthew Scott, is in association with Theatre Royal Bath. It opens on March 16 and runs until May 7, then transfers to Bath for a run May 9-14.
