Overview
Once a lowly bird from the Irish wilderness now the world’s most famous cock.
Don Murphy is one of his generation’s greatest actors, a proud Irish man, and a hopeless ketamine addict. He also happens to be a chicken. Across one fateful night, the feathered Oscar-winner shares his star-studded story – how he was plucked from obscurity to become king of the coop in Hollywood. But along the way Don is confronted with some harsh truths about his place in the pecking order and in a daring act of rebellion, he hatches a plan that could change the fate of all Chicken-kind forever.
From the Fringe First-winning Eva O’Connor and Hildegard Ryan comes a play “unlike anything you’ve ever seen” (Playbill). Fresh from sold-out, award-winning runs at the Edinburgh and Dublin Fringe Festivals this new Irish play by the critically acclaimed Sunday’s Child is an outrageously funny and heartfelt look at fame, fragility, and freedom.
