The Play
I Never Sang for My Father is a quietly devastating exploration of family, duty and emotional distance. Through memory and confrontation, Gene reflects on his complex relationship with a formidable, emotionally guarded father, and the moments of closeness that never quite arrived. Robert Anderson’s classic drama examines love withheld, expectations inherited, and the cost of what remains unsaid.
