Grey Matter tells the wonderful story of a boy and his pet parrot as they journey through life

A scientist.  A parrot.  A lifelong friendship. Grey Matter 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 brings 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.

Ages 8+

Tickets for both school performances of Grey Matter at Backstage Theatre on Wednesday 19th March at 10am & 12pm are available from the box office on 0433347888.
