Things I Know To Be True (NHB Modern Plays)

'Both down to earth and gently magical. It's the sort of uniquely theatrical evening that might just convert those suspicious that theatre doesn't speak to them' The Times; 'An understated gem of a play... [its] searing honesty about family relationships stays with you long after the curtain falls' Radio Times; 'A thing of beauty... Bovell offers us a portrait of family life in all its gory reality - and it is an absolute gem... so exquisitely observed it makes you wince' Telegraph; 'A mix of warm humanity and sadness... there's an intelligent attentiveness to the little details of domesticity, some sour and others honeyed' Evening Standard 'A beautiful and painfully perceptive family portrait... genuinely haunting and fervently recommended' Independent; 'Beautiful and devastating... a powerful look at the coexistence of narcissism and unconditional love in family life' The Stage;'Exquisitely articulate... a drama that explores big ideas through an almost unbearable intimacy' The Arts Desk; 'Bovell's hypnotic, poetic use of language and his unusual plotting structure... are piercingly beautiful' Arts Hub Australia
