One of the classic original play scripts in the Hong Kong theater scene, “The Truth About Lying” spotlights the life and death of youth and love, the fragility of marriage and the paradoxes of love.

The story takes place in a law firm specializes in family and divorce. A middle-class lawyer couple, seemingly united but actually estranged after years of marriage, have witnessed the ugliness and brutality of divorce for as long as they could remember. A young trainee lawyer delves into the bizarre world of divorce and finds herself entangled in a subtle emotional connection with her boss. How will the lawyer wife, who has been silently enduring her marriage, navigate the situation? Amid the complex tangle of law and marriage, six modern men and women grapple with their joys and sorrows, questioning the true meaning of love.

Since its premiere in 2010, the drama has rerun for four times and has been awarded prestigious accolades such as “Best Script”, “Best Actress”, “Best Ensemble Performance” and “Top 10 Most Popular Production” at the Hong Kong Drama Awards. Playwright Wong Wing Sze has witnessed the changing times in Hong Kong and continues to examine contemporary marriage and love with humour, poignancy, romance and realism.
