Grace, written by Jody O’Neill, tells the story of a girl who has a relationship with her father where no words are needed. In fact, Grace doesn’t use words to speak at all. When her father dies suddenly, Grace needs to find a new way to communicate. This exciting new production explores the universal themes of grief and communication as Grace and her father invite you into the multisensory landscape of Grace’s world.
Produced in association with Cork Opera House. Supported by Baboró and The Abbey Theatre. Funded by the Arts Council.
All performances are relaxed and contain creatively-embedded access including captions. See Dates & Times listing for Audio Described and Irish Sign Language (ISL) performances.
A ghost, a sparrow, a mother and a girl. Love doesn’t need words. You can just feel it.
