Things I Know To Be True is a play by Andrew Bovell that premiered in May 2016 and was performed by The State Theatre Company South Australia. It has also been performed in Britain by Frantic Assembly, in Sydney at the New Theatre (2022), in the United States in a co-production with the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre and the Arizona Theatre Company (2019), in Canada at the CAA Theatre [Mirvish and Company Theatre co-production (2023)], and in translation in Spain. The play is naturalistic but features great use of non-naturalistic physical movement to emphasise the emotional connection between the characters - following the story of the Price Family and their problems.
The play is set in Adelaide, Australia, which is where the play held its World Premiere in May 2016. For the American production, Bovell adapted the action of the drama to take place in the Midwestern United States. [1]
