Fatherland
About this book
"Together we have something and share a passion that other people will never understand" Mark and Angela are a father and daughter grappling with a painful past and fragile future. Tonight, an innocent evening of ice cream and DVDs derails quickly into dangerous territory in this chilling new story about a father who loved too deeply. "This is a play about love. A love misplaced. A complicated, tainted, socially unacceptable love, but a deep, rich and painful love all the same. The play demands a holding back of judgement and the engagement with the possibilities of such a thing." - Caroline Steinbeis, Director

Information
SCENE ONE: DENIAL
We see MARK. He is in a moment of deep crisis. Unbeknownst to him, ANGELA watches on.
This goes on for a while.
He attempts to shake it off.
He has an immense box of dominoes in front of him. He sets a handful up and knocks them over.
He looks over the table in front of him, then pours out the amount he thinks he’ll need for the table.
He pushes two tables together and then pours out more dominoes.
He pours out all the dominoes and starts moving furniture and objects around that he will use for his giant domino path.
ANGELA has watched all of this, before...
ANGELA: Hi.
MARK: What?
ANGELA:
MARK: Oh. Hi.
ANGELA:
MARK: How long have you
ANGELA: What are you doing?
MARK: Sorry?

MARK: Right.
ANGELA:
MARK: Thank you.
Silence.
He keeps setting up the room.
ANGELA: I can’t believe you still have these.
MARK: What?
