“Message extends much more widely… a terrific catalyst for discussion”
“Truth Values is first and foremost a powerful performance, raising issues about how talented young people find their vocation, and the host of factors that play a role in that process – including joy in work. At the same time, it illustrates through one example what it is like to be ignored, dismissed, invisible, and devalued as a scholar while working these personal questions out. The example is about being a woman in a male dominated field, but the message extends much more widely. It provides a great opportunity for reflection – both by people who have experienced similar treatment at some time and those who haven't – on the impact of ‘small’ experiences when people are at vulnerable moments in their development. The play is both funny and moving, and a terrific catalyst for discussion.”
