The Naked Truth is a 30-minute spoken-word show that takes audiences on a fast, funny and emotionally charged journey into the things we usually keep to ourselves. Playful, provocative and uncomfortably relatable, it moves quickly between laughter, recognition and the occasional: did she really say that? Blending personal storytelling with sharp observation, Lynne Jones explores gender, sexuality, relationship diversity and the messiness of mid-life transitions, sharing stories with clarity and confidence, without pretending everything is neatly resolved. Lynne has performed at Macclesfield’s Poetry Pandemonium and featured in the LGBT Foundation Summer Arts Trail.
