Being a father in the 21st century is complicated, especially when you’re the father of a son of mixed heritage.

Three very different characters, each with their own stories of being and having a dad explore the highs and lows of fatherhood across generations and across continents.

Centred around everyday, relatable experiences, this original new work traces epic journeys and ponders domestic dilemmas with humour and sensitivity.

Fatherhood is supported by Arts Council England, In Good Company, The Sir Barry Jackson Trust and FABRIC

“Excellent storytelling and characterisation skills. The audience was on its feet by the end” Shyama Perera, BBC Broadcaster
