A show about memory you'll not soon forget.
THE FATHER (Le Père) is the winner of the 2014 Molière Award for Best Play. The Molières are considered France’s highest theatrical honour. THE FATHER premiered on Broadway in 2016 with Frank Langella winning the TONY AWARD for BEST ACTOR.
The Father is a tragi-comic mystery, a sobering and realistic family story, and an unsentimental, emotionally intense look at the world through the eyes of a man experiencing dementia, a dramatic illustration of the physical losses which occur along with the mental ones.
Florian Zeller, the author of this intriguing and compelling black comedy, has been hailed as “one of the hottest literary talents in France” (Independent).
