The Father

Knutsford Little Theatre proudly presents The Father, a powerful and deeply moving play by Florian Zeller, opening this season under the debut direction of Tom Irvine.

Winner of multiple awards, including the Molière Award for Best Play, The Father is a modern classic that explores the heartbreaking and disorienting world of old age through the eyes of André, a proud man whose grasp on reality begins to slip away. Zeller’s masterful writing, combined with a clever and unsettling staging structure, invites the audience to experience confusion, tenderness, laughter and loss in equal measure — a journey that is at once gripping and profoundly human.

Tom Irvine brings fresh vision, ideas and sensitivity to this production utilising the tech skills of the Theatre production team- guiding the audience through a story that is both intimate and universal. Audiences can expect an evening of thought-provoking theatre that lingers long after the final curtain.

Don’t miss this summer production a gripping exploration of memory, identity, and love.
