  • Donald Loftus: Fighting Hands

    Fighting Hands by Rachel Feeny-Williams is a gripping and emotionally charged two-hander that explores family, regret, and redemption with striking honesty. Through sharp, naturalistic dialogue, the play unpacks years of pain between father and daughter, building to a powerful and deeply human reconciliation. Raw, intimate, and ultimately moving, it offers a compelling portrait of love tested by time and circumstance.

    An interesting short piece with characters you don't typically encounter. That makes for a fascinating family examination in the brief time we get to spend with them. An enjoyable slice of life with a bit of bittersweet seasoning at the end. A good read that should make an excellent production at some point.

    An absentee father pays an unexpected visit to his adult daughter, and, as you might guess, the reception is cool. But Rachel Feeny-Williams brings these characters to life in non-stereotypical fashion, as the father’s backstory is revealed. You might just find yourself a little choked up by the end. RFW scores a TKO!
