The Naked Truth – VEF Culture Palace, Riga, October 27, 2026
On October 27, 2026, the crime comedy “The Naked Truth” will be performed at the VEF Culture Palace in Riga. The performance begins at 7:00 p.m. This two-act comedy combines thriller-like tension with sharp humor and unexpected twists. The playwright is contemporary French dramatist Sébastien Thiéry. In France, the play was nominated for the Molière Award. At the center of the story is prominent lawyer Alain Kramer, who wakes up naked in his bed next to a colleague. Neither of them can explain what happened. The situation becomes even more complicated when the lawyer’s wife arrives. Attempts to save his reputation turn into a witty chain of misunderstandings. What seems to be a light vaudeville gradually develops into an absurd comedy. The performance is directed by Intars Rešetins-Pētersons. The event is intended for audiences aged 16 and over.
