About the Author:
Stella Feehily is an actress. She lives in Dublin. Duck is her first play.
Review:
"Feehily's play is savvy, smart and witty, and yet somewhere beneath the cynicism about love, sex and the whole damn thing there's a wishfulness: if only men, women and children could stay together and be happy" The Times on O Go My Man"
