Things I Know To Be True - This really is a play not to be missed.

It is not uncommon in community theatre for there to (understandably) be a weak link in a cast somewhere but in the Things I Know To Be True this is simply not the case.  All six performers show a very wide range of emotions and were consistently true to their characters.  The audience felt the love between the family members, were impressed by the intensity of their reactions to one another and in awe of the outbursts of rage.  This was easily some of the best acting that I have ever seen on a community stage and I have been performing/directing/watching community theatre for many decades.

Racquel Boyd has done an outstanding job with this production.  Not only has she cast this play perfectly but professional pace was maintained throughout and the tension was successfully maintained over the scenery change blackouts. 

Things I Know To Be True will continue until Sunday 11th June and deserves to play to full houses at every performance.  I have never given full marks to any of the other shows or plays that I have reviewed but this piece of theatre really is exceptional.

11 roses out of 10.
