Sunday's Child
Chicken by Eva O’Connor & Hildegard Ryan
Performed by Eva O'Connor
as part of Culture Night 2025
This solo show from Eva O'Connor (Mustard, Maz & Bricks, My Name Is Saoirse) is "unlike anything you’ve ever seen" (Playbill), winning of the Filipa Bragança Award, Edinburgh Fringe 2023, Best Performer, Dublin Fringe 2024 and Pick of the Fringe Adelaide Fringe 2025.
Don Murphy (Eva O'Connor) 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 with an intimate audience - 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.
