God's Honest Lies

Inspired by Eduardo De Filippo's Le bugie con le gambe lunghe, the production stages a collective game of pretence in which even the truth is bent until it becomes irrelevant.

While the staging keeps the immediate post-war setting, an added epilogue and a more dynamic, contemporary delivery underline how current the theme remains. Eduardo's lucid, ironic theatrical mechanism still mirrors a society willing to accept any lie to maintain a fragile equilibrium.

A comedy that makes you smile, and also invites you to recognise how, then as now, “everyone false, everyone happy.”
