A Voyage Round My Father

synopsis


John Mortimer's autobiographical play A Voyage Round My Father, about his relationship with lawyer father Clifford Mortimer (Sir Laurence Olivier). Alan Bates co-stars as the younger Mortimer, who must deal with his father's decreasing ability to take care of himself. His father, a successful lawyer struck with blindness in middle age, continues his battles in the courtroom with the assistance of his family. As his son deals with bitter memories of their relationship, he also seeks his father's respect and love and in the process learns to love in return. John Mortimer presents us with a succession of characters, together with their extravagant behaviour, who have influenced his life - each portrayal with humour and affection. The portrayal of his father - amongst the family, in his beloved garden, in London's Law Courts - is drawn with great skill and, finally, deep pathos.
