Tender, funny, and emotionally devastating in equal measure, Things I Know To Be True follows Bob and Fran Price, hardworking parents who have devoted their lives to raising their four children. As their children enter adulthood and begin forging lives of their own, the family is forced to confront long-held expectations, painful truths, and the changing nature of unconditional love.

Told through the perspectives of the four adult siblings, the play examines the struggle to define oneself outside the boundaries of family expectation. At the emotional heart of the story is Mark’s journey as she comes out to her family and begins living authentically as Mia. Bovell handles Mia’s transition with sensitivity and honesty, exploring not only the courage it takes to embrace one’s true identity, but also the ripple effect such a revelation can have within a close-knit family.
