About the show
Please note this performance is taking place at Canada Water Theatre, not Theatre Peckham.
Moving between memory and the present, Our Father is a powerful exploration of legacy, faith, and the complicated love between fathers and their children. Through intertwined questions, Asenath and Alpheus wrestle with grief, absence, expectation and inheritance.
Set against biblical parallels and intimate family moments, Our Father asks: how do we mourn someone we never fully knew? And how do we become parents without repeating the past? A tender, raw exploration of responsibility, masculinity, faith and generational healing.
