Da, the 1978 Tony Award Winner for Best Play, is the story of Charlie, a writer who's been

living in London for many years, who returns to his boyhood home in Dalkey, a suburb of

Dublin, Ireland, after the death of his adoptive father.

He finds that the house is filled with ghosts, of his parents and of his younger self. Charlie

talks and interacts with all the ghosts, relives important moments from his youth, and comes

to grips with his complicated feelings for his adoptive parents. Through Charlie's

conversations and interactions with the ghosts in his home, we see both why he loved his

parents and why he was so eager to leave them far behind.

Da is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals, New York (Please verify)
