by a true story, the Tony Award-winning musical <i>Fun Home</i> follows the
coming-of-age story of lesbian author Alison Bechdel, from her youth to her
years at Oberlin College, and finally to the present, where Alison, now grown,
is struggling to write her own graphic autobiography. As Alison reflects on her
past, she struggles to make sense of it, particularly her relationship with her
father, Bruce, a closeted gay man, and the owner of the family business -- the
Bechdel Funeral Home aka the “fun” home, as it’s known to young Alison and her
brothers, John and Christian. As she watches her father’s self-loathing consume
him, Alison recognizes her own experience of discovery, and ultimately embraces
her identity. Fun Home is an unforgettable and groundbreaking musical,
exploring the haunting pull of memory and the power it can alternately destroy
or shape our identity. </span></p>
