Meet My Dad is about an awkward first meeting between a father and his daughter’s boyfriend. Father and boyfriend unknowingly meet earlier in the day when they have an unfortunate overlap while visiting the local sex worker. When the boyfriend meets his girlfriend’s parents that evening the event can only be described as awkward, the reasons for which remain a complete mystery to mother and daughter who seek to make sense of their partners’ behaviors while simultaneously revealing their own quirky personalities. The play then takes another unexpected turn when the daughter’s friend shows up and turns out to be the sex worker that both men had met with earlier that day.
This is a play of learning and becoming: the moment of encounter create the fire that blows up the status quo of the characters, allowing them to grow and ultimately accept one another for who they are and what they need.
Meet My Dad’s intergenerational humor is multi-faceted, and ranges from a comedy of the unexpected, subtle physical comedy, absurdist comedy, and a linguistic humor that spans the length of the piece.
The play was so successful in Italy that it was translated into English by Julia Heim. The italian title is Ti Presento Papà.
