"Things I Know to be True"

Join us for an evening at the Old Court Theatre for the play "Things I Know to be True" by Andrew Bovell. "This play is simply beautiful. Full of love, heartbreak and shattering truths. It’s a universal story that I guarantee everyone will relate to. The main themes of the play are family, love, and how beautiful and how tragic love can be. It’s a story that is full of heart."

The play starts at 19:45 and the box office opens 45 mins beforehand. Please let Cressida know if you are thinking of coming.
