NEWSFLASH: The Truth in Perth, Fourecks

ARENAarts will be staging their production of The Truth this month! "There’s been a murder. Allegedly. But William de Worde, accidental editor of the Discworld's first newspaper, has got an inside line on the hot story... With plots afoot, possible murder, dog-napping, love in the air - and a potato - the truth will make you fret, rather than set you free."

Director Ron Arthurs told Broadway World, "We are not going for the approach taken by many Pratchett productions, which is large showy sets and intricately-built scenes. We have a smaller stage so will be taking a set-minimalist approach and using lighting to move from scene to scene. This will also allow audiences to focus more on the action and actors with fewer distractions. Theatre isn't just about the set, it's about the players and action taking place. A couple of characters will surprise the Pratchett fan base and my vision is to have a lot of bright colours, in both costumes and settings."

When: 12th, 13th, 19th, 20th, 25th, 26th and 27th July
Venue: Roxy Lane Theatre, Ninth Avenue and Roxy Lane, Maylands 6051, Western Australia (phone 0417 922 732)
