AMERICAN PREMIERE

Bob and Fran Price have loved each other for thirty years and have built a home and raised four strong children.

Set over the course of one year, this innovative and beautifully touching new play provides a unique perspective on the struggles the four adult Price children face to establish their identities and deal with personal crises. Written by critically acclaimed Australian playwright and screenwriter Andrew Bovell, Rep audiences will be the first in this country to experience this “warm play that will remind every audience member of their family.” (The UK Telegraph)

Reviews
"I think this the best new play I have seen this year: I saw it several days ago, have seen other work since then, but still it dances in my head."
"An emotional and moving take on family…powerful and captivating…extraordinary production"
"Beautiful and well worth the emotional effort. Just remember to pack some tissue"
"Some of my favorite moments of 'Things' are of five silent Prices moving around or paying coordinated attention to the sixth Price speaking"
"The cast is uniformly excellent…Sublime…beautiful and truthful, poetic and starkly honest"
"Takes ordinary lives to extraordinary height…the acting is remarkable, from start to finish"
"Audiences can’t help but identify with the struggles, fears, joys and secrets that unfold in a bit more than two hours on the Quadracci stage."
"I’ve seen many memorable plays at Milwaukee Repertory Theater, but 'Things I Know To Be True' is in a class all by itself."
