Truth’s a Dog Must to Kennel opened at the Lyceum Theatre Studio, Edinburgh, during Fringe 2022 and comes to SoHo Playhouse as part of the Fringe Encore Series. It uses King Lear as a point of departure to explore the aftermath of the last three years: the loss of life, the wrecking of families, the abuse of power, the digital encroachment of live theatre and the decimation of our industry.
The Fool leaves Shakespeare's King Lear before the blinding. Before the killing starts. Before the ice-creams in the interval. In this new solo work, Obie Award winner Tim Crouch draws on ideas of virtual reality to send him back to the future of the play he left. Back to a world laid waste by division and trauma; a world where the revolution will take place on a screen. Truth’s a Dog Must to Kennel is a celebration of live performance and a skewering of the state we’re in now: King Lear meets stand-up meets the metaverse.
