Artist Support - Yellow by Jody O'Neill - Ahead of D15 School Tour
10 November 2023
7-10 November 2023
Rehearsal Days ahead of Performances
We are delighted to welcome Jody O'Neill and team to Draíocht for rehearsal days ahead of school performances of 'Yellow' in D15 Schools during November.
---
‘Yellow’ is a joyous, uplifting piece of theatre written by Jody O’Neill, writer of the award-winning, ‘What I (Don’t) Know About Autism’.
It follows the story of Lizzie, a creature of habit, and how her life is irrevocably changed when she sleeps through her alarm clock and has to break her routine, with very unexpected consequences.
Yellow will be followed by a discussion on inclusion, disability and diversity, designed in collaboration with Sinéad Dunne Finnegan.
Yellow was originally commissioned and developed by Draíocht in Dublin 15 through Home Theatre (Ireland). Home Theatre (Ireland) was funded through an Arts Council’s Open Call award with additional support provided by Fingal County Council.
The play is a relaxed performance and is suitable for all ages.
Produced by Draíocht with Jody O’Neill
Performed by Eleanor Walsh
Directed by Al Bellamy
