Carlow Little Theatre Society are delighted to be returning to the stage of the George Bernard Shaw theatre in VISUAL Carlow, this coming October with Hugh Leonard’s, hilarious, Tony-award winning memory play, ‘Da’.
‘Da’ explores the relationship of Charlie, a successful playwright, with his adoptive father. In this semi-autobiographical play set in 1960s Dublin, we find Charlie in his childhood home just after Da’s funeral. While he sorts through his father’s things, he is visited by Da’s ghost, who stubbornly refuses to leave the house or his son’s mind. As Charlie revisits his past, we get to share in the tender, frustrating and very funny moments that defined the complex relationship between father and son. Winner of the 1978 Tony Award for Best Play, New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play, the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding New Play, and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Play.
‘Da’ will be directed by veteran actor and director Paddy Behan and is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.
