You can combine your coffee break with a theatre break over the next couple weeks as Swallow-a-Bicycle Theatre brings a revised version of Eavesdrop: The Coffee Shop Show to three inner-city cafés. The show has been selling out and this weekend is the last chance to see it (at least for now) - as of press time there were still some tickets available for the Friday and Saturday shows ( ). Instead this show is an intensely raw and powerful look at his own upbringing in a loving but rigid home the difficulties and sacrifices he faced in finding his own way in the world and yes the overwhelming experience of becoming a parent - and what that teaches us about our own parents.
Having seen Kelly onstage and onscreen and chatted with him on a handful of other occasions I expected his one-man show would be an entertaining moving story about the fear awe and joy involved in becoming a dad - with evidence of his quick humour and occasional potty-mouth scattered throughout. Dave Kelly examines parenthood in Dad Day 1 at Lunchbox Theatre.ĭave Kelly’s intense play is a hit and eavesdropping in coffee shopsĭave Kelly has a hit on his hands with Dad Day 1 at Lunchbox Theatre written by and starring the former morning television host and directed by Rebecca Northan (whose Legend Has It was also a hit at the recent Alberta Theatre Projects’ playRites Festival).
