Join us at the Old Fire Station for a unique chance to reflect on and celebrate the stories of illness we don’t normally hear. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFree event \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSunday 21 June 2026 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n1 hour 30 minutes \n\n\n\nAge guidance:  \n\n\n\n11+ \n\n\n\nContent guidance: \n\n\n\nThis show contains strong language\, themes of an adult nature and mental health. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Old Fire Station\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Fire Station in Oxford is an arts centre with a unique social mission\, combining creativity with community impact.

SUMMARY:Abingdon Drama Club presents Things I Know to Be True
DESCRIPTION:Abingdon Drama Club presents Things I Know to Be True by Andrew Bovell\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Abingdon Drama Club presents Things I Know to Be True by Andrew Bovell\n\n\n\nAbingdon Drama Club is proud to present ‘Things I Know to Be True’ by acclaimed Australian playwright Andrew Bovell — a beautifully observed and deeply moving exploration of family\, love\, and identity.  \n\n\n\nAt the heart of the play are Bob and Fran\, devoted parents who have worked their fingers to the bone to provide for their four children. With their children now grown\, it may finally be time to slow down and tend to their beloved garden — and perhaps enjoy the fruits of their labour.  \n\n\n\nBut as the seasons change\, so too does the landscape of their family life. Long-held assumptions are challenged\, expectations unravel\, and shattering truths emerge\, forcing each member of the family to confront who they are — and what they mean to one another.  \n\n\n\nTold through the eyes of the four adult siblings\, Things I Know To Be True is as tender as it is bold. Each child struggles to define themselves beyond the powerful pull of parental love and expectation. As they pursue independence\, they must also navigate the enduring bonds that both sustain and constrain them.  \n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		Abingdon Drama Club presents Things I Know to Be True by Andrew Bovell\n\n\n\nPoetic\, humorous\, and brutally frank\, the play is a complex and intense study of the mechanics of a family — a story that resonates with anyone who has ever loved\, lost\, or longed to be understood.  \n\n\n\nBovell’s writing captures the quiet heroism of ordinary lives while asking profound questions: Can love ever be too much? And what does it truly mean to let go?  \n\n\n\nAbingdon Drama Club’s production promises an emotionally rich and compelling theatrical experience that will leave audiences reflecting on their own families long after the curtain falls. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nStandard – £15.00 \n\n\n\nConcessions – £12.00 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a booking fee\, and can be purchased online or from The Bookstore \n\n\n\nGood to know: \n\n\n\nPlease note: The production was rescheduled from Wednesday 25 to Saturday 28 March 2026.
