I never want her to think she’s not good enough
Three generations under one roof. A young girl faces cochlear implant surgery as her parents wrestle with the weight of their choices. The unexpected arrival of a Deaf mother and daughter unearths buried truths that echo across generations.
Shane O’Reilly fuses theatre, opera and film in a bold and ambitious new work.
This contemporary family drama - tense, humorous, and authentic - pulses with reverberations of decisions that will shape the future. Some things cannot be silenced.
This edition was published to coincide with the premiere at Dublin Theatre Festival 2025.
