I Think Dad Was Here
A modern, dysfunctional family waits for the reading of the will after the head of the family passes, or did he?
Unfortunately, the money that Hugh saved for this very moment is locked up in two pieces of paper. One piece is a Lottery Ticket Scratcher worth two million dollars and the other a scrap of paper is a winning Horse Race Ticket worth seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Both tickets have a one-year expiration date and that date is now closing in as the funeral for Hugh is to take place at the beginning of Act-Two.
Act-One introduces the family with Michael being in his forties, Jeffrey in his thirties and Sophia in her late twenties. Their mother Marilyn is in her late sixties and is showing her age in her forgetfulness and her inability to keep a solid train of thought. Hugh, as the ghost in the house, also loses his thought patterns and must go back and try and remember what they are as he actively tries to find two small pieces of paper in a house that is in the process of moving and being sold. At the same time, Jeffrey is in desperate need of money as he has overextended himself with a group of very unpleasant criminal figures who now want their money back and are threatening him with violence.
At the same time, brother Michael seems to need money although he is not outwardly desperate like his brother, and their sister Sophia and their mother Marilyn seem to be very comfortable in the present situation and do not seem to need money or want to look for it as treasure in the house.
Act Two resolves many of the money problems, answers many of the questions about secrets, secret hiding places and the very real possibility that their father Hugh is still in the house as a ghost. I Think Dad Was Here is a fast-moving Dramedy with hilarious moments of family dispute and desperation, which are vaulted forward by secrets, secret alliances and the hugely funny antics of a Scottish/American old man simply trying to do the best for his family except he waited just a bit too long to get started in the process and died.
