by Andrew Bovell​

November 14 - 22, 2025 at the Red Tree Theatre

​Directed by Julie Bailey

Other plays by Andrew Bovell: Speaking in Tongues (Lantana); When the Rain Stops Falling; Secret River​

Synopsis:

Bob and Fran Price have loved each other for 30 years. They have built a home and raised four strong children. At the end of it all, they are left asking: Was it worth it? Who are we now that the children have gone?

'Things I Know to be True' is a poignant, honest account of family life in the Australian suburbs. Over the course of one year, the four adult Price children struggle to establish their identities and deal with personal crises.

It is about growing up and moving on, even if you're not ready to.
