THE FATHER // FEBRUARY 6 — FEBRUARY 24, 2019
“The Father is a candid account of age-caused dementia, evenly wrought and clear of pity. The Coal Mine production is tight, fearless and worthy of the script..”
—The Globe and Mail
THE COAL MINE THEATRE PRESENTS:
THE FATHER
Written by Florian Zeller, Translated by Christopher Hampton & Directed by Ted Dykstra
Honest and humorous, The Father is a deeply affecting look at the realities of living with Alzheimer’s while being cared for by loved ones who are becoming increasingly unrecognizable. An empathetic and experiential journey through the eyes of a man in mental decline, The Father is disorienting, challenging and profound.
“Florian Zeller, ‘one of the hottest literary talents in France’ is the next playwright to know!” — Independent
