Things I Know to be True by Andrew Bovell at OSO Arts Centre

Parents Bob and Fran have worked their fingers to the bone and with their four children grown and ready to fly the nest it might be time to relax and enjoy the roses. But the changing seasons bring home some shattering truths, leaving us asking whether it’s possible to love too much. 

As beautifully touching as it is funny and bold, Things I Know To Be True tells the story of a family through the eyes of four grown siblings. Each struggle to define themselves beyond their parents’ love and expectations. It is a complex and intense study of the mechanics of a family that is both poetic and brutally frank. 

Things I Know To Be True first premiered in Adelaide, Australia, as a co-production between Frantic Assembly and the State Theatre Company of South Australia. 

OSO Artistic Director Lydia Sax (The Revlon Girl, Once Upon a Bridge, Sabbath) returns to direct the London revival of Andrew Bovell’s ‘gently magical’ (The Times) play, for the OSO's first ever in-house production.
