THE FATHER By Florian Zeller
Translated by Christopher Hampton
Playing: October 24th – November 10th, 2018
Florian Zeller won the Molière Award for Best Play for this wonderful work he called “a tragic farce”.
Now 80 years old, André was once a tap dancer. He lives with his daughter, Anne, and her husband, Antoine. Or was André an engineer, whose daughter Anne lives in London with her new lover, Pierre? The thing is, he is still wearing his pyjamas, and he can’t find his watch. He is starting to wonder if he’s losing control.
“…a super-smart, finally heart-breaking play… an unqualified triumph…” - The Daily Telegraph (UK) “Harrowing…an exceedingly ingenious premise…”
