The Sleep that Ceased to Settle

This 60-minute play, exploring a father-daughter relationship alongside the reality of grief, is aimed at family audiences, dreamers and anyone who has stayed up imagining different worlds.
Featuring Bob Kelly as Malley and Úna Ní Bhriain as 9-year-old Joanie, a father daughter duo who conjure new and exciting realms to counteract a lack of sleep as they process the loss of Joanie’s mother.
Written by internationally renowned playwright, Finegan Kruckemeyer and directed by Graffiti CEO and AD, Niall Cleary, this brand-new play full of love and adventure is sure to spark your imagination and leave your heart full of awe and wonder.
Catch its special premiere here in our Fitzgibbon Theatre on October 8th before our team travels to Babóro International Arts Festival for Children. Tickets available here.
