THE Bright Theatre Company is currently preparing for their upcoming spring production of 'Things I Know To Be True'; a 2016 Australian piece by playwright Andrew Bovell.
The play reveals the dynamics of the Price family - a couple with four grown children - and highlights the impact of societal expectations and the ways in which family members react to one another's choices.
Ultimately, despite the challenges, the family's inherent love and support provide a sense of hope and connection.
Director, Cal Waddell, is extremely eager to run her first full-length play, since the rebranding of the Bright Theatre Company.
"I have mentored collections of one-act plays and I'm now looking forward to applying my unique creativity to Andrew Bovell’s work," Ms Waddell said.
