Oldbury Repertory Players turn to Christopher Hampton’s translation of Florian Zeller’s emotionally challenging and thought-provoking play for their next amateur production.

Telling the story of a once-proud old man’s mental degeneration - and his daughter’s attempts to keep him safe as he loses his mind - The Father won the Molière Award for ‘best new play’ in 2015. It was adapted for the cinema five years later, with Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman taking the lead roles and Hopkins picking up an Academy Award for his mesmerising performance.
