The Game of Truth: Adil Rami stars in Philippe Lelouche’s renowned comedy at the Apollo Theatre

At the Apollo Theatre, honesty makes a bold entrance… and it’s not shy about making itself heard. The Game of Truth, the renowned comedy by Philippe Lellouche, arrives in the 11th arrondissement of Paris with a cast that really hits the mark: Adil Rami, Manon Sachot, Sam Lellouche, and Rudy Doukhan.

The premise is simple, almost innocent. Three close friends in their thirties, who have known each other forever, regularly gather for dinner. A well-established routine, a comforting setting, shared memories. But that evening, one of them decides to shake things up. He announces a surprise: their childhood friend—the girl who once made their adolescent hearts race, the "bombshell" of high school—will be joining them. From that moment on, everything shifts. The dynamics are thrown into question, gazes take on a different meaning, and what was meant to stay hidden beneath the tablecloth threatens to come to light. A surprising development awaits them all.
