Is the 'simple truth' fact or fiction?
A woman arrives at a police station wanting to make a confession. A detective is there to hear it. But what unfolds is an ambiguous and haunting collection of memories and private yearnings. Is she guilty, and if so, what is her crime? Is she seeking punishment or absolution?
Written with great authority and style and illuminated with flashes of startling humour, The Simple Truth is a thrilling play hinged on the fine lines between truth and fiction, innocence and guilt.
