'That Was All' by Francis Grin
Everyone’s got their own beliefs. Especially dad, who worshipped ‘good times.’ Years later, you’re searching for meaning, clinging on to new age jargon and a memory of that final pub crawl.
You might explore a selection of belief systems, dip your toes in some new age sciences. You might take up yoga, meditation and a plant based diet. You might even spend a day with a world renowned Mexican healer wondering why you keep walking around with the strangest feeling, and a distant memory of a pub-crawl with your dad. The endless pints, the samba dancing, the drunken philosophy and the look in dad’s eye when he got a free round on the house. “Jesus Christ” dad said, “Finally get a free pint now that I’m - ”.
That Was All is a one woman show about families, memory and how to make sense out of the unspoken. It was championed and published by Stagescripts as part of their 10th anniversary in 2019.
