Don’t miss the world premiere of Kanika Ambrose’s Truth, based on the Governor General’s Award-winning book “The Gospel Truth” by Caroline Pignat.
It’s 1858 on a Virginian tobacco plantation. Deep in a forest, a young Black girl named Phoebe sits in the hollow of a tree, a notebook in her pocket and a harrowing choice ahead. Truth is adapted from the Governor General’s Award-winning novel “The Gospel Truth“, and tells the story of a courageous 16-year-old, the arrival of a stranger from the north, and a trail of secrets that could change everything. From the American South to St. Catharine’s, Ontario, Truth chronicles the fierce strength and resilience of a community as it struggles to find freedom.
