Olivier
Award Winning Drama
Heads to Newcastle
THE FATHER
NEWCASTLE THEATRE ROYAL
MONDAY 18th – SATURDAY 23rd APRIL 2016
Yesterday
Kenneth Cranham won the Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Play for his role in The Father
and the show is heading direct to Newcastle this month.
Plunging
the audience into the experience of dementia this play throws the switches in
your brain and lets you step into dementia through Tony Award nominee Kenneth
Cranham’s indelible performance.
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.
