Krik Krak Dead father analysis

This time, as working with Betty and Kat, I play the role of dead father in the play “ Caroline’s Wedding” . For this dead father, his age is around forty and looks very kind.  From the book I can just get a little information about this character, however, as searching the dialogue from Grace and Caroline, Caroline and mom, I get some information about this dad, he died due to untreated prostate cancer and two of his daughters, Caroline and Grace, both love him very much. After dad died for the first few months, these two girls would dream him nightly. However, they share a very important information that these two girls want to chase after him but they never reach him. So in the performance, from our first conversation, we design that I, as the dead father, will wear all white in order to show that I stay in heaven, For the conversation between dad and daughters, this part I am still considering because in the book Krik Krak, there’s no dialogue between dad and daughters. So because I think because dad is kind and loves his daughters, so from the actions and talking part, I would show his love in the dialogue and action part. Moreover, I think for the motivation part, I do not think dad really needs any motivation or excuse to help his daughters because he really loves these two children and he wants to do his best in order to protect them. In my analysis I would believe that all things dad do for his daughters are selfless, which I think is is an unrequited love, every dad would show the love to their children. All he wants is the safety of his daughters and his wife, however, he was died ten years ago and he can not accompany with these two children forever. And he is worried about his daughters because when the daughters face the problems, the only thing dad can do is to communicate and comfort them in dream. Which dad sometimes would feel  powerlessness and when Caroline’s Wedding day is coming, he believes that this is the last day to meet with them because they are really independent, for Caroline, she has the identification of American and she has married with an American. For Grace, she now also has the identification of American so he would trust that now it is time to let these two girls fly by themselves. But one thing I’m considering is that how should I perform the long time period, because dad died ten years ago before Caroline’s Wedding, so in our next discussion, we would consider about the custom and light to show the time change and characters growth in that time period.
