FEIDLIM CANNON &
GARY KEEGAN
Feidlim Cannon’s father died 13
years ago; his death could have
been prevented. Now, for this
remarkable theatre production,
Feidlim and his mother Ann
share an astonishing onstage
conversation, grasping for the
truth behind an incident that cast
a decade-long shadow across
their lives. Guiding them through
this emotional riptide is Erich
Keller – the psychotherapist whose
real-life sessions with Feidlim and
Ann inspired the creation of this
devastating work.

pioneering approach to theatre,
make their Australian debut
with Have I No Mouth. As much
about the foibles of family life as
it is about death, this production
transcends pure documentary,
pivoting artfully between
psychodrama and humour as it
tells a story of startling poignancy
and catharsis in the aftermath of
tragedy.
