Trad. Mark Doherty

Trad - Mark Doherty

A fable about tradition in a mad place, Trad is the hilarious tale of the very old Thomas and his even more ancient ‘da’. When Thomas reveals that he once fathered a son in a long-ago fling, the pair set off across the Irish countryside to seek the unknown child, with nothing more than a hobble and a limp to help them. A surreal comedy from former comedian Mark Doherty, and a five-star hit at the 2005 Edinburgh Festival, Trad presents a deeply funny journey of discovery, fuelled by a past that’s just as bizarre as the present. Trad opened at the Bush Theatre, London in April 2006.
