PERFORMANCE 24

Meet Occi Byrne, the illegitimate child of a single mother from the west of Ireland. Shunned by church, state and family, Occi must fight his way to adulthood in a dog-eat-dog world.

Swansong is the story of a hero abused by the system at every step. But this troubled soul is not one to ever give up.

Returning to Australia after a triumphant 2018 US tour, Swansong is a moving and inspirational story of longing, loss and survival-againstall-odds. Green Room Award-winner Andre de Vanny as Occi Byrne is a theatrical experience you will never forget.

Date/Time:

“Swansong is a mighty ‘tour de force’ featuring an indisputable talent and his boundless energy and commitment.

What de Vanny brings to the stage is faultlessly executed.”
