All Lies is Alan Ayckbourn's 86th full-length play.
Was All Lies performed at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough?
No. All Lies was initially written for and offered to the Stephen Joseph Theatre, but it was turned down by the Artistic Director Paul Robinson. As a result, it was produced by The Old Laundry Theatre, Bowness-on-Windermere, and was never produced by the Stephen Joseph Theatre. Instead, it went on to transfer to the Esk Valley Theatre, Glaisdale, near Scarborough.
What is the music played between the correspondence and scenes in the original production?
It is an instrumental with cello version of Michael Jackson's song Human Nature.
Will All Lies be available to produce or be published?
All Lies is available for production and enquiries should be directed to Alan Ayckbourn's agents Casarotto Ramsay. Judging by previous plays, All Lies will be published but this is unlikely to happen before 2025.
