The Father
About
Warrandyte Theatre Company are delighted to stage The Father, an extraordinary play that captivated Paris, London and New York when it first ran.
The Father offers a fascinating look inside the mind of Andrew, a retired dancer living with his adult daughter Anne and her husband. Or is he a retired engineer receiving a visit from Anne who has moved away with her boyfriend? Why do strangers keep turning up in his room? And where has he left his watch?"
A touching, funny and worrying story where The Guardian gave the London production a rare five-star review, calling it 'the best play of the year” in 2015. The Times described the The Father is "one of the best plays of the decade”.
The 2020 film starring Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman closely follows the play and won Academy Awards for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Actor (Hopkins).
