Father, Away She Goes is a solo show by Pierpoint Productions performed at Playground 1 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It introduces Sarah Jones — a narcissist, compulsive liar and failed art-school hopeful — exiled from the family home and stumbling through a farcical nightmare of parties, lies and fractured relationships. As her ambition curdles into something darker, she is pushed towards a final, devastating twist. The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over, with warnings for distressing themes, scenes of a sexual nature, scenes of sexual violence, strobe lighting, and strong language.
Why see this show?
A ferocious solo performance built around a character you cannot look away from. The show combines dark farce with genuine emotional weight, pushing its love-to-hate protagonist to a devastating conclusion.
