Every rose has its thorns.The Prices are a typical Australian family. Bob and Fran have worked hard to raise their four kids with strong working class ethics even as their circumstances have improved. Honesty, hard work, respect and family values are the lessons handed down in the Price household. With the kids growing up, Bob should have more time to tend to his precious roses, but over the course of a year, a series of family revelations shakes the Price home to its foundations.
Tasmanian Theatre Company and Mudlark Theatre’s Things I Know To Be True is a tender portrait of the fragility and strength of familial bonds. As Bob’s garden changes with the seasons each Price faces personal upheaval. Buried truths emerge and identities are questioned as the family searches for the source of their love for one another.
The script from celebrated playwright Andrew Bovell (Lantana) has been given a new local lens by director Ivano Del Pio and an ensemble of Tasmania’s finest actors. Things I Know To Be True finds a family at an intergenerational intersection where heartbreak and hope collide.
