It's True, It's True, It's True broadcast on BBC Four

6 February 2020

It's True, It's True, It's True will be broadcast on BBC Four.

Our Associate Ensemble Breach Theatre’s all conquering Untapped, The Stage and Scotsman Fringe First award winning production It’s True, It’s True, It’s True will air in full on BBC Four on Sunday 9th February at 11pm ahead of its transfer to the Barbican in spring. The production will be available via this link.

It’s True, It’s True, It’s True will also be screened for a limited time at the National Gallery, part of the Artemisia Exhibition - the first major exhibition of Artemisia’s work in the UK - on Friday 24th April.

The production is based on transcripts taken from the 1612 trial of Agostino Tassi, who was accused of raping fellow painter Artemisia Gentileschi while he was tutoring her at her father’s house.

Sticking closely to the original research but using modern language and featuring an all-female cast, It’s True, It’s True, It’s True tells what, at first, seems like an archaic tale of female empowerment in the face of ostracization by a male-dominated society. But as the trial progresses and testimonies of situations all-too familiar to a twenty-first century audience begin to emerge, we’re left asking how much has really changed in the past 400 years?

Originally commissioned by us as part of the Untapped Award, the show was one of the undisputed hits of the 2018 and 2019 Edinburgh Festivals before transfering to London where became one of our highest selling productions of all time. The production recently toured the country and played international dates.
