Fun Home

Fun Home won the Tony for Best Musical last year. It is adapted from the graphic novel by Alison Bechdel. The story blends various times in Bechdel's life in a very innovative format and tells of the author's embrace of her identity as a lesbian and coming to terms with her father as a gay man. It is a poignant (though often funny) tale and serves as a worthy testament to the power of the comics format.
