Things I Know to Be True by Andrew Bovell
Things I Know to Be True by Andrew Bovell — a moving exploration of family, love, and identity. At its heart are Bob and Fran, whose lives shift as their grown children challenge long-held expectations. Told through the siblings’ perspectives, the play examines the tension between independence and family bonds. Poetic, humorous, and unflinching, it captures the complexity of ordinary lives and enduring love.
This production promises a powerful, thought-provoking theatrical experience.
Sganarelle by Molière, translated by Miles Malleson
ADC are delighted to be entering two drama festivals this year.
A fast-paced comedy of misunderstandings, jealousy and mistaken identity, Sganarelle follows one man’s increasingly chaotic attempts to uncover the truth about his lover’s supposed betrayal. Packed with sharp wit and farcical confusion, it’s a classic Molière comedy full of energy and laughs.
