Three Kings
by Stephen Beresford
Wednesday 29 October – Saturday 1 November
Premiered and broadcast as part of The Old Vic, London's In Camera series during the COVID-19 pandemic; Three Kings is a one-person play written for Andrew Scott by Stephen Beresford.
When Patrick is eight years old, his absent father returns unexpectedly for a brief but memorable encounter. Years later – recalling that meeting, and the revelations that followed – Patrick traces the events of his father’s life, laying bare a journey of grandiose plans, aching disappointments and audacious self-delusion.
Three Kings is a heartbreaking and hilarious play about fathers and sons, the gifts and burdens of inheritance, and the unfathomable puzzle of human relationships.
