Da at Irish Classical Theatre

Opening on Broadway in 1978, Leonard's beguiling and hugely popular drama became the first Irish play ever to win a Tony Award. Da tells the story of Charlie, a successful writer, who returns to Dublin to attend his adoptive father's funeral. As Charlie is sorting through Da's belongings, memories are provoked by his father's ghost, forcing Charlie to confront his past and to finally realize that coming to terms with family, death and ourselves is an enduring struggle. This warm, vivid and funny drama will stir the hearts of all with its universal humanity as it looks into the beautiful complexities of family relationships.
