Captivating shows await in Barnes

Community news on behalf of OSO Arts Centre | 1 April 2025

In the upcoming weeks, enjoy three captivating performances at OSO Arts Centre.

Things I Know to be True

This April, OSO Artistic Director Lydia Sax returns to direct this London revival of Andrew Bovell’s ‘gently magical’ (The Times) play, for the OSO's first-ever in-house production.

As beautifully touching as it is funny and bold, 'Things I Know to be True' tells the story of a family through the eyes of four grown siblings. Each struggles to define themselves beyond their parents’ love and expectations. It is a complex and intense study of the mechanics of a family that is both poetic and brutally frank. 

  • Date and time: 5 and 6 April at 3.30pm, and 9 and 10 April at 7.30pm
  • Location: OSO Arts Centre, Barnes, SW13 0LF
  • Price: from £17.85
