Delinquent Dad

Thirty-something and things not going so well? Wouldn’t it be great if dad came to stay?

Delinquent Dad is a frantic knockabout comedy that explores the challenges of growing older in a rapidly changing world, dealing with unexpected family dynamics, and finding redemption amid chaos. Matt and Cara, a thirty-something couple, are struggling to hold onto their flat against an increasingly aggressive landlord. When Matt’s Dad arrives at their doorstep, their lives become hilariously complicated, leading to a series of laugh-out-loud mishaps as they band together against the pressures of the outside world.

Directed by Nick Bromley, this warm-hearted comedy promises laughter and heartfelt moments, engaging audiences with its relatable themes and witty script.

Reviews

Delinquent Dad is great fun, moving at pace, carried along by strong performances from all the cast and a very witty script. It’s a good night out, funny, entertaining and thought provoking.

An interesting social twist this new, warm-hearted comedy by local writer E.J. Anderson resonates on many levels.... Take your Dad – and your Mom too – to see this. It’s hugely appealing as it cleverly and subtly addresses a number of contemporary issues.

A Thought Provoking Social Comedy… Reminded me of Alan Ayckbourn’s plays… my friend thoroughly enjoyed the drama and came out of the theatre smiling with delight as she had, had, a good giggle and laugh.

Captures a moment in time between “millennials” and “boomers”, and the particular generational differences right now. It is easy to become invested in the story and Gorick’s performance as the dad; his innocence and accidental mishaps are brilliant.
