“THE FATHER is one of those plays that makes your brain hum with the potential of theatre” – The Independent

“ferocious, charming, playful” – The Guardian

“an unqualified triumph” – The Daily Telegraph

André is now an old man but still a man of his own mind. He’s quick with a joke, especially one with an edge, and used to dominating conversations and relationships. But things are getting strange: His trusted watch goes missing, reappears, and is lost again. His daughter’s stories don’t quite add up. His furniture is disappearing and there are strangers at his table. This internationally acclaimed and theatrically thrilling exploration examines who we are to ourselves when our signposts disappear.

“…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).

French playwright Florian Zeller’s THE FATHER (winner of the 2014 Moliere Award for France’s best play) is an extraordinary new play, adapted into English by the distinguished playwright Christopher Hampton (Dangerous Liaisons).

THE FATHER premiered on Broadway with Frank Langella in the title role (winner of the 2016 Tony Award).  Gremlin is proud to present this dynamite play in the intimate setting of our new thrust theatre.

Featuring Craig Johnson as The Father and Miriam Schwartz as his daughter, Anne.

With: Peter Christian Hansen, Emily Grodzik, Matt Wall & Olivia Wilusz.
