“I’m lying just to feel it, to feel what it’s like to be held.”
From a man in a silver suit performing vaudeville to a hand me down Liverpool jersey. From Irish nationalism to existential bed rot.
This work moves through history, memory, and literature to trace the fragile, unspoken terrain between fathers and sons and everything that goes unsaid.

2026 (development): developed through practice-based research / writer, performer & workshop director: Jay Hannon /under supervision of Dr Ian R Walsh. (
