FAMILY PLAY

What is family? Is there such a thing as a normal family? Family Play takes the idea of how a family should be structured and turns it on its head. Told through the eyes of a worldly-wise 8 year old, Family Play reveals the comedy and tragedy associated with all human relationships. Never shy to deconstruct a dramatic world, Matt Fox deals with the real and surreal in equal measure to reveal the subjectivity of truth behind all family units. Review of Fox s previous play To Sleep . Funny dialogue, pacey writing and an unlikely comic partnership really draw the audience into the story, whilst providing a dynamic that adds poignancy to the sadder and more serious aspects of the script...[Fox] is skilled at composing witty dialogue and has the ability to examine difficult social issues with humour and compassion.
