CHICKEN by Sunday’s Child returns to Belltable on Wednesday April 9 and Thursday 10 after award-winning runs at fringe festivals in Edinburgh, Dublin and Adelaide.
It is an acclaimed show where a woman plays a chicken who thinks he is a man and not just any man but one of his generation’s greatest actors.
The show is written by Eva O’Connor and Hildegard Ryan and performed by O’Connor.
Don Murphy is a proud Irish man, a hopeless ketamine addict and one of his generation’s greatest actors. He also happens to be a chicken. A Kerry cock to be precise.
Across one fateful night, the feathered Oscar winner shares his star-studded story- from getting his big break, to his first bird on bird sexual experience, to navigating life in the (human-dominated) celebrity spotlight. But along the way Don will be confronted with some harsh truths about himself, chicken kind and humankind.
