Stour & Avon Magazine Review

It's a cold winter's evening and bitter, irascible divorcee Henry is enjoying a scotch and some classical music in glorious solitude. He is soon disturbed, however, by the unwelcome appearance of his son, Matthew, bringing with him his new grilfriend, the unappealing punk/Goth Christine. Matthew is obviously keen for a reconciliation with his father, but Henry is quite happy the way things are, and sparks soon fly - but this is just the beginning, for who should arrive next but Henry's ex-wife, Matthew's mother, Sue! As the cold night wears on, Henry and Sue cannot help but rake over the ashes of their seemingly dead relationship. To their surprise, the faint glow of a new tenderness develops between them and, before long, Henry is facing some important decisions....

Father's Day is a warm and touching comedy based on Eric Chappell's hit TV series Home to Roost.
