19 Sep The Father: local play explores the loss of self from dementia

Michael Fox Kennedy as Andre

Here’s a wonderful opportunity to explore our feelings about illness through art: a local theatrical performance of ‘The Father’, playing Fridays & Saturdays, September 21 – October 13, 7:30 pm, at the Actor’s Theatre Playhouse in West Chesterfield NH.

Director Burt Tepfer comments on the play. “What is it like, as Andre asks in the play, to be ‘losing your leaves?’ In the play we see, from the inside out, the confusion, rage, vulnerability, incomplete memories, fantasies, and fears of a previously powerful man who is experiencing the loss of his world through dementia. The play, ingeniously wrought to show how this decline and loss of capacity is felt by the sufferer, is crafted superbly with honesty, pathos and with surprising humor.
