The Palace of Truth is a three-act blank verse "Fairy Comedy" by the English dramatist W. S. Gilbert. First produced at the Haymarket Theatre in London on 19 November 1870, the plot was adapted in significant part from Madame de Genlis's fairy story Le Palais de la vérite. It was the first of several such plays that Gilbert wrote founded upon the idea of self-revelation by characters under the influence of some magic or supernatural interference. The play ran for approximately 140 performances, then toured the British provinces and enjoyed various revivals even well into the 20th century. There was also a New York production in 1910.
