It's True, It's True, It's True available online

31 March 2020

New Diorama Associate Ensemble Breach Theatre have made their multi-award winning production available to stream online for 30 days.

This new film version, shot on location in a former chapel, was specially staged for TV and originally shown on BBC4. The film is produced by Artemisia Films and Breach and was commissioned by The Space for BBC Arts.

You can watch the film here. If you fancy watching another Fringe smash-hit you can see Poltergeist Theatre's Lights Over Tesco Car Park here.

This gripping dramatisation of a 1612 rape trial brought by the gifted painter Artemisia Gentileschi roars down the ages centuries after it shocked Renaissance Rome.

When Agostino Tassi, the pope’s favourite artist, was accused of raping 15-year-old Gentileschi, the ensuing seven-month case was widely publicised. It’s True, It’s True, It’s True interweaves jaw-dropping court transcripts with history, myth, contemporary insight and moments of satire to ask: how much has really changed?

Filled with ire and using modern language, the devised show shines a spotlight on a remarkable woman who went on to triumph through her art.

If you enjoy the production, we ask that you donate to Breach Theatre. All donations go directly to Breach Theatre.

It's True, It's True, It's True won the Untapped Award in 2018 and went on to win a Scotsman Fringe First and The Stage Award for Excellence.
