Between 2010 and 2012, French playwright Florian Zeller had written two brilliant plays called The Father and The Mother. Naseeruddin and Ratna Pathak Shah, the father and mother of Motley, staged the former last year, and the latter is on their "to-do list." In 2011, Zeller had also written The Truth, a breezy comedy about infidelity, a popcorn break between two serious works.

The Shahs, following Zeller's steps to the tee, are now ready with their adaptation of The Truth, which will premiere at Prithvi Theatre and Royal Opera House this week, as part of Prithvi Theatre Festival, and will also enjoy a month-long run at Prithvi from November 20 to December 16.
