“You used to swing me on our garden gate. In and out, out and in, me, on top of the gate, safe because I was in your arms, my father's big strong arms.”
Recalling events that may or may not have happened, people he may or may not have known, an elderly father weaves his life, funny, angry, poignant, as if in a dream. His daughter, perched outside his window, as close as the pandemic allows, responds with conflicting memories. They sing and argue, they broach dangerous ground, their profound love apparent despite themselves, until the visiting hour is up.
This moving new play about an Irish father (Stephen Rea) and daughter (Judith Roddy) at visiting hour in a nursing home during the pandemic was performed and recorded in the Gate auditorium, and is now available as video-on-demand to audiences around the world from Monday May 10th until Sunday May 23rd. The play is 75 minutes long, and also features a beautiful 15-minute prologue filmed in the Gate auditorium.
Once you press play on your rental, you will have 48 hours to finish watching. The video will be available from 09:00 on Monday May 10th until 23:59 on Sunday May 30th.
