About

Now 80 years old, André was once a tap dancer. He lives with his daughter, Anne, and her husband, Antoine. Or was André an engineer, whose daughter Anne lives in London with her new lover, Pierre? The thing is, he is still wearing his pajamas, and he can’t find his watch. He is starting to wonder if he’s losing control.

Winner of the Molière award for France’s best play, The Father – brilliantly told with humor and empathy – treats audiences to a heart-wrenching glimpse into despair from the loss of self.
