Yellow - Schools Tour of Dublin 15

In association with Draíocht Blanchardstown

Role: Director

Over two weeks, supported by Draíocht, Blanchardstown, Yellow went on tour for 15 performances across 8 schools in the Dublin 15 area.

‘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. It will be performed by Eleanor Walsh.

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.
