"The Absent Father, the Wayward Son"

"The Absent Father, the Wayward Son": Story of Love & Forgiveness by Brandon Hughes

David "DayDay" Williams has never met, talked to or even seen his father in person. When he finds photos under his mother's bed that confirm he looks nearly identical to his absentee dad, David begins to question his self-worth, resulting in an angry, confused and wayward life. Finally, his mother reveals a secret she's withheld for years -- a revelation that drives David to express his feelings about the father he's never met, and how different his life would've been if he had. Presented at Stage One Theatre, "The Absent Father, the Wayward Son" -- written by Brandon Hughes, who also plays DayDay -- is one man's powerful, and often funny, story about love, redemption and forgiveness.
