Things I Know To Be True

By Andrew Bovell
Directed by Neil Armfield
Directing Placement - Kitan Petkovski

One year in the life of an Australian family.

The Prices aren’t from the top end of town, but they’re not battlers either – Fran and Bob have brought up four children and kept their sense of humour.

It should be time to stop and smell Bob’s precious roses. But just when things should be slowing down, the complicated lives of all four offspring come crashing through the brick veneer walls.

With plate-dropping family revelations, love pangs, and the sweet pain of finding out the truth, Things I Know To Be True is a beautifully crafted play from the ever-rewarding mind of Andrew Bovell (Lantana, When the Rain Stops Falling, The Secret River.)

Neil Armfield is one of Australia's greatest directors. His great theme is family. Andrew Bovell has written a great play about family. Belvoir St is the perfect stage to bring them together.

★★★★½ "The power of this play is [Andrew Bovell] finds fertile soil in seemingly ordinary lives to create an extraordinary family drama peopled with rich characters and in which home truths emerge from the backyard."
SYNDEY MORNING HERALD

★★★★½ "Andrew Bovell's wonderful, compassionate play about family is staged with a beautiful simplicity and clarity."
