John Is A Father

"…Myatt excels at using small details to evoke larger truths.…

JOHN IS A FATHER explore[s] fatherhood, mortality, the post-recession economy and the illusory nature of the American dream…

In impeccably spare dialogue rarely longer than single-sentence exchanges, fragments of John's troubled past come to light during his encounters on a trip to reconnect with what's left of his estranged family.…

It's utterly compelling naturalism rendered with economy and grace….

Myatt's new play offers a quiet vision of hard-won hope amid adversity.…"
