Four stories. One shared inheritance.
Monolithic Theatre returns to Ladbroke Hall with Four Fathers, an evening of intimate and powerful performances exploring fatherhood, family, identity, memory and the things we inherit.
Bringing together distinctive voices across theatre, poetry and contemporary writing, Four Fathers examines the relationships, experiences and cultural legacies that shape who we are.
Through four individual works and a special bonus performance, the evening moves between personal experience and collective memory, inviting audiences to reflect on belonging, presence, absence and the connections that reach across generations.
Presented in Monolithic Theatre’s signature intimate format, each performance places the actor and the written word at the centre of the experience.
