Fountain Theatre presents U.S. premiere
of powerful, timely ‘I, Daniel Blake’
WHAT:
The Fountain Theatre presents the U.S. premiere of I, Daniel Blake, a powerful, timely and poignant story about people coming together in the face of a Kafkaesque government bureaucracy that refuses to see them as human beings. Daniel is a caring, warm-hearted middle-aged man who suddenly finds himself unable to work. Katie hopes for a fresh start for herself and her teenage daughter. Together, they attempt to navigate the nightmarish unemployment and public housing system while clinging to their dignity and humanity. We are all Daniel Blake.
