Théâtre la Seizième presents Andrew Bovell’s Ce que je sais de vrai, translated and directed by Cory Haas, at Studio 16 from April 30 to May 10 at 7:30 pm.
Bob and Fran have worked hard to give their four children the opportunities they never had. Now that the nest is empty, it’s time for them to slow down and enjoy the simpler things—but parenting as a job never quite stops. Behind the garden’s fence where the roses bloom, shocking secrets will shatter the tranquil appearance of this quiet household.
Ce que je sais de vrai is a bittersweet portrait of six people in crisis that asks whether it’s possible to love too deeply. The show is in French with English surtitles. Audiences can meet the artists on May 2 in French and May 9 in French and English.
Tickets and more details are available through Théâtre la Seizième.
