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".
"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
