Chicken
Don Murphy is a proud Irish man, a hopeless ketamine addict and one of his generation’s greatest actors. He also happens to be a chicken.
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 celebrity spotlight.
But along the way Don will be confronted with some harsh truths about himself, chickenkind and humankind.
