THE FATHER is a psychologically immersive play that uniquely puts the audience in the position of the main character, allowing us to experience his confusion as if it were our own. We never know what’s true or real.

The Father is a darkly humorous, deeply poignant and unsentimental play, presenting a sobering and emotionally intense look at the world through the eyes of a man experiencing dementia, with a dramatic illustration of the physical losses which occur along with the mental ones.

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, and was transferred to screen with Anthony Hopkins winning the BEST ACTOR OSCAR for his performance.
