Theatre

Matthew's debut play opened in The Garage Theatre Monaghan in April and has been very well received from audiences.

​

“The Flowers of May” brings you inside the world of  two parents  raising a child with a hidden disability while facing up against the social stigmas that come with it.

​

 David and Lisa had visions of what being a parent would be like, but their lives suddenly changed when their son, Conor, was diagnosed with autism. Together they journey through the joys and challenges of being a parent of a child with ASD. Along the way they have to deal with patronising in-laws, exclusionary neighbours while also trying to get past their own differences.
