Description
Fatherland is a bold and ambitious show about contemporary fatherhood in all its complexities and contradictions. Created by Frantic Assembly's Scott Graham, Karl Hyde from Underworld and playwright Simon Stephens, this daring collage of words, music and movement confronts the challenges and nuances of modern fatherhood. A vivid and urgent portrait of 21st-century England at the crossroads of past, present and future, Fatherland is inspired by conversations with fathers and sons from the writers' home towns in the heart of the country. This revised version coincides with performances in London at the Lyric Hammersmith as part of LIFT 2018. Tender and tough, honest and true, Fatherland is a vital and necessary show about what we were, who we are and what we'd like to become.
