Samuel French Publishing House has presented The Shawnee Playhouse with the wonderful opportunity to present the Irish comedy “Da”, winner of the Tony Award for Best Play.
Hugh Leonard’s hilarious comedy “Da”, explores the relationship of Charlie, a successful playwright, with his adoptive father. In this semi-autobiographical play set in 1960’s 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.
“Da” will be featured March 11 through March 20, in place of “The Lieutenant of Inishmore”. Ticket pricing will remain the same.
