Rabbitskin

"Cal says everyone’s story’s the same. Get born, grow up, get a job, get wed, have kids, work, get sick, get better, get sick, get better, get sick, die.

I think he’s wrong."

Joe can name his twenty favourite authors straight off the top of his head and quote his favourite books perfectly. He’s a master storyteller like his father, a man who can make the ghosts and monsters of Irish legends seem as real as the rabbits he skins and cuts up on the kitchen table.
But when Joe tries to tell his own story he finds it difficult to keep on track. All stories must come to an end eventually, but that’s the bit that Joe doesn’t want to tell.

Dom Grace’s beautiful new play asks us to consider how easy it is for us to listen to other people's stories, but how difficult it is to tell our own.
