Summary
"Caitríona Daly's play Duck Duck Goose is a drama examining the nature of consent, trust and trial by social media. It was developed as part of Fishamble's A Play for Ireland initiative, and first performed by the company as part of the Dublin Theatre Festival at Pavilion Theatre on 1 October 2021, before touring to Draíocht, Everyman Theatre, Watergate Theatre, Lyric Theatre, and Belltable. The play is set in Galway, Ireland, in the years 2016 to 2019. It takes place 'in the mind of the character Chris Quinn, as he replays all of his memories that lead him to a certain event'. When his friend becomes embroiled in a rape allegation, Chris offers his support; but the rules keep changing, nothing is clear-cut, and Chris finds himself caught in a tussle between loyalty, love and doubt. The premiere production was directed by Jim Culleton and designed by Paul Keogan. It was performed by John Doran, Naoise Dunbar, Caitríona Ennis, Liam Heslin, Aidan Moriarty and Roseanna Purcell"--About the play.
