The Father
11th-18th September
This week the People's Theatre is showing a darkly humorous and deeply affecting drama. The Father by Florien Zeller (translated by Christopher Hampton) is a sensitive portrayal of living with dementia.
As Andre and his daughter Anne grapple with the disease, shifting perspectives and storytelling twists challenge the audience to ask if what we're experiencing is real or imagined.
Winner of the 2014 Molière Award for Best Play, the 2020 film-adaptation won Zeller and Hampton an Oscar and a BAFTA, as well as acclaim and awards for its stars Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman.
The Father is showing in the Studio Theatre, so an extra performance has been added to the usual five-night run. Tickets are available from the box office on 0191 265 5020 or email boxoffice@peoplestheatre.co.uk . Booking in advance is recommended.
