A Voyage Around My Father
Author(s): John Mortimer
Company: Theatre Royal Bath
Growing up in the shadow of a brilliant and eccentric barrister, a man whose tea-time conversation could take in music hall, adultery, evolution, the ridiculous inconvenience of sex, Shakespeare and the importance of avoiding anything heroic in wartime, the son continually yearns for his father’s love and respect.
In shining a light on this delicate relationship between a young man and his father who adored his garden and hated visitors and whose blindness was never mentioned, A Voyage Round My Father introduces a gallery of characters.
