Our next production...

The Father
Florian Zeller

9 - 16 November

Andre is a man facing persecution from all sides. First, some girl, a ‘helper’ who he doesn’t need at all, steals his watch. Then his daughter Anne, a scheming woman who worries too much, tried to take his flat away - the beautiful flat he’s had for over 30 years. His daughter Elsie, the one he actually loves…. where is she? She never comes to visit.

A darkly humorous and deeply poignant translation, The Father is a tragicomic mystery which presents a sobering and realistic family story and an unsentimental, emotionally intense look at the world through the eyes of a man experiencing dementia.

What our audiences say...

I was impressed by this group of actors with daytime jobs and limited rehearsal times succeeding in putting on a professional standard production worthy of many deserved awards
