Daddy

My overall impression

Although my primary reason for seeing this show was that my friend Bethy Poluikis of Theatre Unleashed was in the cast, I left the theatre very thankful that I had come.

Written and directed by Olivia Peterson, the show was a powerful masterpiece that explored family secrets, and the disastrous results that develop as a result of them. It pitted two estranged sisters who reluctantly are reunited at the funeral for their Dad. The underlying cause of the estrangement gradually comes out through the show, resulting in changes in the lives of the sisters.

Special kudos to Devin, whose Max was the unexpected comic gem in an otherwise dark show.

This is a MUST SEE show – don’t miss the chance to see a true Fringe gem.
