About Birthright :
An extremely varied audience will find personal
meaning in the play. Everyone seems to find a
unique way in which the universal conflicts and
truths that lie within the actors words apply
to them. Birhright is simply a story about growing
up. The role of the father in the process of children
becoming adults is as mysterious and changeable
as the process itself. Fathers, however present,
have a definite effect on the way children view
their world. Birthright explores many different
types of father/son relationships. Some are pleasant,
and many are not, but each one evokes a memory
in the child who experiences it. Through the eyes
of many different fathers and sons, all played
by two actors, we see the common bond all parents
share the fact that they are parents and always
will be.
