OUR FATHER

A MIDWEST PREMIERE
March 16 – May 25, 2009
written by M.G. Stephens
directed by Jeff Christian


“Be glad. The old man’s dead.”  Through the fumes of beer and whiskey appear Fats, Bones, Beaky, Mumbles, Psycho, and Oscar. The gloves are off and everyone has a story to share about dear, dead Dad.  Set in an actual bar, the audience pulls up a chair and a jar, as booze, insults, poetry, and comedy fly in equal measure, and the portrait of “Our father: narrow-minded, wide-girthed, drunk as a stone” emerges with brutal ly funny force and acerbic comic flavor.

Seanachaí has gone the extra yard... You are not merely watching - you are part of the night's event. The pain and the comedy come through loud and clear."
~ CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Seanachaí Theatre Company has hitched itself to a crowd-pleasing, pub-friendly show, and the cast has a ball”
~ CHICAGO READER

Critics Pick! The family may disagree on whether their “Da” was a good man or a bad, but we’re right there with them at the wake-  Slainte!”
