24 Sept - 3 Oct 2026

DAD

The world premiere of DAD by David Solomon, starring Ivan Kaye (Vikings, Gunpowder Milkshake, The Borgias, Layer Cake) and Nigel Betts (Dr WhoKilling Eve, Toast of Tinseltown, Boy Meets Girl) opens this September at The Golden Goose Theatre.

Nathan reaches out to his two brothers Aaron and Karl to help him find their father who has been missing for two days. In an afternoon full of surprises and revelations, the family begin to come to terms with the terrible trauma that their father has visited on all of them. Beyond Nathan and his brothers, Dad's malign influence has broken the lives of Nathan's ex wife Leila and their son Daniel. 

DAD is about the ripple effects of control and the persistence of past trauma. A shocking resolution suggests there is only one way to truly escape.
