REVIEWS BY JUDITH (REVIEW): Things I Know To Be True
For most audiences going to the theatre means being told a story. Not only is Andrew Bovell’s Things I Know to Be True a moving, detailed and hopeful story but Castle Hill Players’ production of this beautiful play brings a lovingly crafted and meticulously constructed work to their stage. It’s rare for me to love a theatre experience where people around me whisper, however for this production that engagement with the story and characters in other audience members just gave me a beaming smile. Other people in the dark bursting to say how much they loved what they were experiencing.
WEEKEND NOTES (REVIEW): Things I Know To Be True
Things I Know To Be True by Australian playwright Andrew Bovell was the play chosen for the opening of the 2021 season of the Castle Hill Players.
Directed by Carol Wimmer, the story follows a year in the life of the Price family from suburban Adelaide. Fran and Bob Price and their four adult children all have secrets that they struggle to keep from each other and the tumultuous year culminates in a family tragedy. Most of the action takes place in the backyard of the family home, which is portrayed with a cleverly simple set design. I particularly liked how the passing of the seasons was marked by the changing of the rose bushes from the full bloom of spring to the bare sticks of winter.
