A chamber piece par excellence, Thy Father’s Chair is undoubtedly messy on the surface, but bubbling underneath is an uncommon grace. We begin with the Orthodox twins Abraham and Shraga, forced by their upstairs neighbors to open their derelict Brooklyn apartment. Enter a professional cleaning service. But they are no working schmucks. These are counselors of a higher order. Their rescue mission cuts to one of the deepest questions known to humanity: how best to effect change in those around us? And incidentally, what to do with their father’s chair? A chair so sacred it has only known one tuchus. Both wry and warm-hearted, Thy Father’s Chair has a Talmudic appreciation for life’s contradictions.Plays with “Bacon and God’s Wrath” (dir. Sol Friedman, 9 min.)
