El bon pare

Things could not be going better for Roger Denís, mayor of a small town. His political career is doing fine, and he has a loving family. What is more, his teenage daughter has returned home, but what should have been good news will turn into serious trouble, because a video has also turned up on Internet that has shown him things about the girl that he did not and would rather not know... Roger thought that bringing up children in a modern, easy-going way was the best way to avoid the kind of problems that now face him. Suddenly, he realises that they said he was a good father at home to keep him quiet, but that he has had no say in any important family decisions for years. Little by little, the curtains are drawn back and the skeletons in the cupboard are revealed. The awful secrets that Roger learns will lead him to question the principles that have guided his life, turning him into the central character in a disturbing comedy. “A Good Father” is a new play by David Plana, a prominent figure in contemporary Catalan drama whose previous works include Mala sang, Dia de partit and La dona incompleta. A superb cast starring Lluís Soler and Teresa Vallicrosa present a play that is certain to make us wonder whether things really are as we have been led to believe.
