La Verdad
La Verdad: A Gourmet Menu of Deception at Teatro Cervantes
Treat yourself to a brilliant “holiday menu” of wit and irony this spring in Málaga. The 43rd Theater Festival presents La Verdad (The Truth), a sharp-witted comedy by Florian Zeller, the most performed living French playwright. Produced by a powerhouse collective including Barco Pirata and Producciones Come y Calla, this show transforms the Teatro Cervantes into a destination for world-class satire. On April 27 and 28, 2026, audiences can savor a masterclass in comedic timing and psychological games.
A Recipe for Infidelity and Irony
The story follows Miguel, a compulsive liar who lives in a world of deception. Ironically, his friends and family also hide the truth from him. When his wife, Laura, begins to suspect his infidelity, Miguel tries to solve everything with even more lies. He eventually convinces his lover that deception is the only way to preserve love and marriage. However, the play leaves us with a haunting question: does Miguel truly know the “truth” of his own life?.
Stellar Performances and Direction
Popular comedian and actor Joaquín Reyes stars in this intriguing game of manipulation. He leads a talented cast including Natalie Pinot, Raúl Jiménez, and Alicia Rubio. Director Juan Carlos Fisher returns to Zeller’s work, following his success with The Father and The Mother, to ensure a dynamic and fast-paced performance. Consequently, La Verdad offers an enticing “special menu” of laughter and deep reflection for every theater lover visiting Málaga.
In short, do not miss this chance to see how four characters twist the truth to their convenience. Secure your tickets today for a night of theater that is as delicious as it is deceptive.
