Chicken

By Eva O’Connor

Presented by Sunday’s Child

Backstage Theatre leaf motif

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.

Across one fateful night, the feathered Oscar winner shares his star-studded story with an intimate audience – from getting his big break, to his first bird-on-bird sexual experience, to navigating life in the celebrity spotlight.

But along the way Don will be confronted with some harsh truths about himself, chickenkind and humankind.

★★★★★ “Eva O’Connor’s solo show Chicken is a masterful look at oppressive power structures from media hegemony to the global meat industry”
