Stage 6 Drama - Things I Know to Be True

Year 11 and 12 drama students attended Belvoir St theatre to experience the Australian play ‘Things I know to be true’ by Andrew Bovell, directed by Neil Armfield.

This family drama, set in Adelaide, explores the complexities of family, generational change and parental and sibling expectations. A powerful and insightful exploration of how the more things change the more they can appear to stay the same. Students engaged in a Q and A with the actors at the conclusion of the performance.  

There were many great questions about how characters were developed, the difficulties and joy in working collaboratively and finding emotional truths in every performance.

Our students demonstrated exemplary respect, responsibility and fairness both on public transport and at the theatre. They were a credit to the school.
