Description

A poignant and thought-provoking exploration of autism, this play delves into the complexities of love, acceptance, and understanding. Through a unique blend of narrative, song, dance, and direct address, Jody O'Neill sheds light on a subject often misunderstood. The production, co-created by O'Neill and the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in association with The Everyman, Cork, and Mermaid County Wicklow Arts Centre, Bray, features a cast of autistic and non-autistic actors. First performed at the Abbey's Peacock Stage in February 2020, it has since toured, offering a powerful and relatable portrayal of life on the autism spectrum. This play is a valuable contribution to the conversation around autism, inviting readers to engage with its themes and characters.
