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". Reminiscence gives way to memory and illusion as an adolescent 'Charlie Then' is brought back from the past, while the man who is 'Charlie Now' grapples with his own mortality and the part of his life that will always be the irrasicible "Da". A great success in its original Broadway production, subsequent revivals have proven this play a classic.
