Performed May 25th-27th 2023

 

The Lying Kind is a dark comedy written by Anthony Nielson (the writer of the hit play Stitching) and was published to tie in with the Royal Court’s Christmas production from November 2002

 

Constables Blunt and Gobbel have one last duty to fulfil before they can finish their Christmas Eve shift - telling the old couple at No.58 some terrible news.

 

But what if the shock is too much for them? Blunt and Gobbel didn’t join up in order to ruin people’s lives. Maybe they’d be happier not knowing. And maybe it would all be much easier if the two constables weren’t also stuck in the middle of a full scale village lynch mob.
