The Father (Le Père)

Description

Description

Molière Award for Best Play
A tug of war between reality and illusion that looks at enduring familial bonds

As her elderly father gradually loses his ability to be independent, Anne moves him in to live with her and her boyfriend, tending to daily necessities. Her father, suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, vacillates between humorous disposition and state of confusion. “Reality” gradually dissolves in his mind, creating many problems between parent and child. Shouldering filial love and her responsibility to family, Anne is under tremendous pressure. She is forced to make an “appropriate” decision. Her father struggles hard for survival, but will he be able to decide his own fate?

The Father (Le Père) is the work of one of France’s most popular young playwrights, Florian Zeller, and winner of the 2014 Molière Award for Best Play. Artistic Director Emeritus Fredric Mao plays the father, with a cast including Alice Lau and Pang Hang Ying. This tragic farce unfolds in all of its fine emotional hues and inner turmoil with such luminaries on the theatre scene.
