Timmy Creed plays hurling. He loves it, he hates it, but for better or worse, it’s a part of him. Written with sportspeople in mind, this one-man show, uses everything Timmy’s experience in the GAA has to offer - he is physically and mentally stepping on and off the grass to portray the toll the expectations of the game took on him, and what an overriding single focus does to a young mind. Honest, brave, joyous, witty and hard-hitting, Spliced is a visceral account of Timmy's struggle to become an individual outside of the sporting institution that raised him. Let’s talk about identity, masculinity and mental health in the clubs at the heart of our communities.
