Who Killed My Father description
Is it normal to be ashamed of loving?
Returning home to the small, conservative town in the north of France where he grew up as a gay teenager, a son finds his dying father virtually unrecognisable from years of alcoholism, social deprivation and grueling manual labour. He starts to wonder: who’s Responsible?
This UK premiere is adapted and directed by the award-winning Ivo van Hove from the anger-soaked, internationally acclaimed book by Édouard Louis.
Who Killed My Father is a furious indictment of the political elite, and a son’s declaration of love. This is a rare opportunity to see Hans Kesting perform the production in English.
★★★★ ‘Merciless and moving portrait’ de Volkskrant
