Father on High

Father on High

Written & Directed by Toby France

Father on High is a new comedy-drama based upon the true-life story of a Bipolar, gay priest. The play examines the aftermath of mania as his family are forced to reconstruct their lives in the midst of his crashed campervan. Curtains twitch as a gripped Sussex village watches mother and son uncover the dark reality of a vicar gone rogue. Lovers, debts and passions swirl in an escape to the country that is anything but an escape…
