The Father: A Tragic Farce
by Florian Zeller
translated by Christopher Hampton
directed by Oceanne Trudel-Poulin

A fascinating look inside the mind of Andre, a retired dancer living with his 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, and where has he left his watch? In a darkly humorous and deeply poignant translation, this is a tragi-comic mystery, a sobering and realistic family story.

  • …harrowing…an exceedingly ingenious premise…” —The New York Times.

    …hugely rewarding…a play that constantly confounds expectations and works almost like a thriller, with a sinister Pinteresque edge…full of guile, particularly in the way it toys with time, yet is also simplicity itself, and is never tricksy. [THE FATHER] constantly makes you question the truth and the nature of reality…an astonishingly unguarded play about the cruelties of love and the limits of patience, and the way child-parent relationships become inverted as old age creeps up and mugs us.” —The Guardian (UK).
