Based on real life, My Dad Wears A Dress follows a girl's journey, from childhood to youth, navigating a world in which all the dads she knows are men. Personal and yet relatable, it shows the challenges of fitting in as a young person, from from toilet mishaps to failed Valentine's Day confessions.
Brimming with life and sincerity, the play challenges a world of heteronormative values, from the struggles of buying a Fathers’ Day card to the questions raised describing one’s family in a French lesson.
My Dad Wears A Dress is a celebration of difference and acceptance. Suitable for all audiences: come and enjoy a fun, zany show that asks what it means to have a "normal family".
"Hats off to the CPT for this fine show, well researched and coming from a place of great passion... Community theatre at its most effective."
