'tate’s 85-minute one-act patiently explores the small but profound discoveries parents can have about their kids and vice versa long after they thought they knew everything about the other.' | Dan Jakes
is part of a long lineage of parent-child trauma dramas, it manages to speak to ideas about masculinity, and family, and inner peace in ways that feel wholly contemporary, personal, and original.
When, for instance, Ty witnesses his dad’s newfound love of birdwatching , it comes as a bittersweet epiphany that a) they’ve grown so far apart that Ty has no idea how the old man spends his time and b) that his father can still surprise everyone with a new evolution in his curiosity and character.
It’s a testament to the performances by Guest and Teamer, as well as tate’s language, how fully the histories of these characters are realized without ever making them explicit. Whenever Ty bristles at his father’s attempts to ask him about his dating life, for example, we get the sense that it’s more reflexive than repudiatory—but we as an audience still feel the sting of the rejection, understandable as it may be.
