Real Life on Stage

by
The Hong Kong Repertory Theatre brings to Macau the touching and darkly humoured world of The Father, a play that has captivated the most celebrated international stages, from New York to London and Sydney, in top-notch theatrical productions performed by renowned companies. 
 
Penned by France’s hottest literary talent and awarded playwright Florian Zeller, the play tells the poignant story of an 80-year old man who gradually loses touch with reality, afflicted by Alzheimer’s disease. As he struggles hard for survival, his daughter, Anne fights between familial duty and her new boyfriend’s love. 
 
Featuring the legendary artistic director Fredric Mao in the leading role, The Father’s ambivalence confronts the audience with the emotional hues and inner turmoil stemming from an increasingly common condition in modern societies.  
 
Winner of the 2014 Molière Award for Best Play, The Father’s accurate portrayal of dementia is conveyed through an intricately crafted and cleverly structured dialogue. A critically acclaimed production performed in Cantonese with English subtitles, and presented by Hong Kong’s top notch theatre company, The Father is a powerful contemporary tale that will make us all smile, cry and reflect on life as it is.
