White Lies

4 January

– 8 January 2022

By Robert Shearman

Fifteen years of marriage have been crushingly uneventful for Claire and Simon to have given in to fantasy so early – well, relatively early.

One could almost believe that it was some kinky diversion to keep a dull marriage alive, the kinkiness always triumphing over the tedium. And it is tedious: Claire seems to do nothing but hoover and shop, shop and hoover, and Simon’s workaday world is leavened only by sweaty squash court sessions in the evening. Routine is all, even down to the weekly dinner invitation to the non-existent Roger.

Reviews

White Lies is a two-hander, running at 70 minutes, so it’s vital to have good performances and Helen Holgate and Scott Brindle were wonderfully entertaining. They played brilliantly off each other, giving us characters we not only believed in but cared about.
