Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies! David Crook’s play, The Truth Teller, attempts to examine just this: the lies we tell ourselves and each other. Is it possible to be completely honest all the time? Is it possible to turn a compulsive liar into an honest man or woman? Is it sometimes better to tell white lies so as to keep our relationships in tact? Our main character, Jonathan (Tom Radford) is the compulsive liar in question and is sent to a very expensive shrink, Shane (Gary Cady) , by his girlfriend Mary (Martha Barnett ) who has decided that he Must be cured of his shoddy ways.
Jonathan then finds himself in the hands of his new therapist who proudly quotes his favourite German philosopher Immanuel Kant proclaiming that “a lie always harms another”. In fact, Jonathan ends up harming Mary one more time...
