True Minds

Alive with her characteristic wit and needle-sharp social observation, this MTC Commission is Joanna Murray-Smith’s most glittering comedy to date.

Being introduced to your future mother-in-law is an anxious time for a young woman – everyone knows first impressions die hard. Especially for Daisy, whose fiancé’s mother is a conservative Boadicea, Australia’s Iron Lady. The meeting will require careful planning and patient manoeuvring. The last thing Daisy needs is her own leftist parents turning up unexpectedly, or her alcoholic ex-boyfriend opening the cellar door.

True Minds is not only a hilarious battle of the sexes and political polarities, but also a deeply rewarding exploration of the triumph of modern love.
