Things I Know to be True
by Andrew Bovell. Directed by Rosanna Preston
January 2026
At the Tower Theatre, Stoke Newington.
Bob and Fran have brought up their four children in the family home, but now they’ve all moved away, except for their youngest daughter, Rosie, who returns home unexpectedly from a European trip. This, in tur,n shakes up the established family hierarchies and, throughout the changing seasons of a year, we witness the many different ways family love can be tested and stretched to breaking point, as old-fashioned values clash with modern expectations until a final shattering event unites them.
Things I Know to be True began as a collaboration between State Theatre Company South Australia and Frantic Assembly. The play enjoyed a hugely successful tour of Australia and the UK, and was revived at the Lyric Hammersmith in 2017.
