A scientist. A parrot. A lifelong friendship.

Grey Matter, a new play for young audiences by Paul Curley and Ger Clancy, explores the joyful relationship between a boy and his pet (African Grey) parrot as they journey through life together, experiencing the highs, the lows, and everything in between.

Performer and writer Paul Curley in collaboration with designer and puppet-maker Ger Clancy bring this captivating play for young audiences to life, asking us to consider who we are, and how we get to know ourselves.

Directed by Bjarne Sandborg of Teater Refleksion (Denmark) and Ian Cameron (Scotland) along with designers Sarah Jane Shiels, Ciara Fleming and composer Denis Clohessy, Grey Matter promises to be a treat for audiences young and old.

Suitable for ages 8yrs + I Running time 45 mins. I Schools Booking from Box Office on 0504 90204


Grey Matter was originally commissioned by Draíocht and produced with the support of The Arts Council YPCE Project Award, Draíocht, Riverbank Arts Centre, Creative Hubs - Dublin City Council Arts Office and Meitheal CPS – A Branar Initiative. This presentation has been funded by an Arts Council Touring Award.
