“If you ran into me Da with a motor car, he'd thank you for the lift.”
Hugh Leonard’s hilarious comedy Da explores the relationship of Charlie, a successful playwright, with his adoptive father. In this semi-autobiographical play set in 1960s Dublin, we find Charlie in his childhood home just after Da’s funeral. While he sorts through his father’s things, he is visited by Da’s ghost, who stubbornly refuses to leave the house or his son's mind. As Charlie revisits his past, we get to share in the tender, frustrating and very funny moments that defined the complex relationship between father and son.
Winner of the 1978 Tony Award for Best Play, New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play, the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding New Play, and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Play.
Directed by Toby Frow. Set and Costume Design by Ben Stones. Lighting Design by Paul Keogan. Music and Sound Design Denis Clohessy.
