Told through stand-up style performance and an array of familiar family characters, Play About My Dad is writer and performer Michelle Read's candid and witty tribute to the life and death of her father.

“Although it is funny, warm, and even strangely detached there is an underlying rawness to this simple human story…”

“…Read delivers a gem of a little work that speaks to us for long after we have left it behind.”

The Sunday Tribune

“It’s a charming, well-observed piece… and it is not going to far to say that the seeming artlessness is very much the art that conceals art.

The Sunday Independent

“Read carries the whole thing off with nerveless assurance.”

The Irish Times
