Middle-aged assimilated American Charlie returns home to his native Dublin to sort through and come to terms with his relationship to this thoroughly beguiling, maddening presence in his life: "Da."
"Irish Repertory uncorks a classic surrounded with magic [...] A wise, witty and wonderful play"
— New York Post
"Nearly twenty years after sweeping Broadway's major awards, Da should have resonance for a new audience [...] Boomers are sure to find more than one instance in which the lives of the characters touch their own."
— Variety
"A humane and honest memory play with great affection and humor [...] It will make you laugh and should make you cry."
— The New York Times
