by Andrew Bovell

Would you be able to list all the things you know to be true in your life? What exists for you that is concrete, dependable and safe?

The Price family are pretty certain that they know what’s true for them. That is until their lives begin to unravel.

Andrew Bovell’s remarkable play presents us with some hard truths about family, love and the things we take for granted. Families can be both beautiful and destructive at the same time.

With comic moments interspersed with high tragedy, this play will bring joy but also tears.

Contains strong language and adult themes.

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
