SWANSONG
	Sunday May 1 | Waterfront Studio | 8.00pm

Bridget Byrne took a ferry to London to have an abortion but gave birth to a baby boy instead.

Austin (Occi) Byrne thinks differently to the other boys - he’s sure it’s from an accident he had as a child, but maybe it’s for another reason.

Swansong is a sinister yet humorous story. Frowned on by the church, isolated by relatives, Occi and Bridget struggle to survive in a tough garrison town. Occi grows to adulthood in a dog-eat-dog world on a journey that takes him through murder and mayhem, love and death, returning ultimately to the beginning: a lost soul looking for recognition and a place to belong.

A stunning performance by Conor McDermottroe saw this hailed as one of the must see plays of the Edinburgh Festival ‘04
