Successful writer, Charlie
returns to Dublin to attend his father’s (“Da” in Dublinese) funeral.
While sorting through Da’s papers he is confronted by Da’s ghost, who tenaciously
inhabits the room and Charlie’s mind. The play moves from past to
present, from reality to reminiscence. “A humane and honest memory
play with great affection and humor…It will make you laugh and should make
you cry.” – N.Y. Times. “Wonderful, witty and wise….A lovely
play.” – N.Y. Post. ‘Da” won the Tony for Best Play of 1978, and
the N.Y. Drama Critic’s Circle Award that same year. This much-loved
Irish Classic is currently enjoying an extended run revival at Dublin’s
historic Abbey Theatre.
