Written, directed, and performed by Barbara Brady, Father, Daughter,and Holy Ghost at the Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival in Salt Lake City, Utah is a sentimental portrayal of the familial complexities surrounding the care of aging parents. How can we support our aging loved ones while maintaining our own stability? This year’s festival is Brady’s first time performing outside of the San Francisco Bay area.
The show runs for a little under an hour and has audiences laughing out loud. Humor abounds, and the writing has cathartic undertones. I was impressed with Brady’s ability to appropriately balance the comedy with the realities of aging. She commands the stage with a sense of ease that immediately draws in audience members, making them feel like her close friends. Her series of monologues are relatable, and her delivery has impeccable timing. The show runs through August 10th at The Gateway and is a gem of the Fringe festival.
