Description: 

Now eighty years old, Andre was once a tapdancer. He lives with his daughter Anne and her husband Antoine. Or was he 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...

The Father is the winner of France’s highest theatrical honour, the 2014 Moliere Award for Best Play, and in Christopher Hampton’s crisp and witty translation, has dazzled audiences at Bath, the Tricycle and the Wyndham’s Theatre, West End. It has received an unprecedented ten five star reviews from major national newspaper critics.
