THE FATHER
Genre: Drama
Playwright; Florian Zeller
Synopsis
André feels like everyone is plotting against him. His flat has been burgled, his furniture has been moved and strangers keep turning up unannounced. His daughter - the one he really loves - doesn't visit him and his son-in-law obviously resents him. His other daughter is deserting him and leaving to start a new life in another country with a man she has just met. She has designs on his flat and insists he requires daily help but he doesn't need any
support...does he?
Find yourself in André's world for an evening where there is confusion, suspicion and hostility - as well as warmth and humour - as circumstances spiral out of his control and relationships become compromised and fractured.
