Don Murphy is a proud Irishman, a hopeless addict, and one of his generation’s greatest actors. He also happens to be a chicken…
Over one fateful night, the feathered Oscar-winner shares his star-studded story with an intimate audience — from his big break, to his first bird-on-bird sexual experience, to navigating life in the (human-dominated) celebrity spotlight. But along the way, Don will be confronted with some harsh truths about himself, chickenkind and humankind.
“This show where a woman who plays a chicken who thinks he’s an Irishman is unlike anything you’ve ever seen.” — Playbill
