Father, Protect!

Written and directed by Harry Daisley

Pyramid Theatre (rehearsed reading), March 2022

In an extravagant manor house, five wives live in luxury. They have everything they could ever dream of: wealth, beauty, comfort and even a pool. But there is just one single problem. They all share the same husband. 'Father, Protect!', a black comedy by Harry Daisley, follows the vicious competition, ambition and coldness of these women as they start to unravel the sinister situation their 'love' has put them in. Wife turns on wife only to later realise that the real enemy is the husband they share. But this comes too late, and the mansion descends into a state of madness and disaster, resulting in a murderous end...

The script was constructed as part of the Leeds Theatre Group Writer’s Room 2021.
