IRELAND Theatre

Have I No Mouth

Brokentalkers

AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE

PRESENTED BY MELBOURNE FESTIVAL

WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY FEIDLIM CANNON & GARY KEEGAN

Feidlim Cannons father died 13 years ago; his death could have been prevented.

Now, for this remarkable theatre production, Feidlim and his mother Ann share an astonishing onstage conversation, grasping for the truth behind an incident that cast a decade-long shadow across their lives. Guiding them through this emotional riptide is Erich Keller – the psychotherapist whose real-life sessions with Feidlim and Ann inspired the creation of this devastating work.

One of the country's most fearless and path breaking theatre companies.

THE IRISH TIMES

Award-winning Dublin-based company Brokentalkers, acclaimed for their honest storytelling and pioneering approach to theatre, make their Australian debut with Have I No Mouth. As much about the foibles of family life as it is about death, this production transcends pure documentary, pivoting artfully between psychodrama and humour as it tells a story of startling poignancy and catharsis in the aftermath of tragedy.
