A show about memory you'll not soon forget. THE FATHER (Le Père) is the winner of the 2014 Molière Award for Best Play. The Molières are considered France’s highest theatrical honour. THE FATHER premiered on Broadway in 2016 with Frank Langella winning the TONY AWARD for BEST ACTOR. The Father is a tragi-comic mystery, a sobering and realistic family story, and an unsentimental, emotionally intense look at the world through the eyes of a man experiencing dementia, a dramatic illustration of the physical losses which occur along with the mental ones. Florian Zeller, the author of this intriguing and compelling black comedy, has been hailed as “one of the hottest literary talents in France” (Independent). REVIEWS "Superb...A harrowing experience expertly delivered.” —The Boston Globe “An unbelievably emotional ride.” — Broadway World "When our memories fail us, we lose ourselves. It's a terrifying proposition, and THE FATHER captures that sense of unease and sadness perfectly." — EDGE Providence “THE FATHER is one of those plays that makes your brain hum with the potential of theatre” – The Independent “Ferocious, charming, and playful” – The Guardian “...an unqualified triumph” – The Daily Telegraph "Shrewdly told with humor and empathy that treats audiences to a heart-wrenching glimpse into despair" — MOTIF Magazine “…hugely rewarding… [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).
