Several decades before their Amazon series Transparent, siblings Faith and Jill Soloway were coming off the success of their 1991 production of The Real Live Brady Bunch in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, and decided to cowrite this satirical spec script about the phenomenon of older men dating much-younger women. My Dad was never produced—though the Soloways went on to great success with Transparent and other projects—but it is as trenchant and hilarious as ever, and particularly well-timed for this historical moment. The 10-page script is reproduced in the issue in facsimile as a removable insert enclosed in a custom-designed file folder.
