Sliver Stars is a moving and eloquent song-cycle which tells the truly extraordinary real-life stories of older gay Irishmen. Men in search of happiness and fulfilment, in a country that was challenged by their very existence.

Based on celebrated singer/songwriter Seán Millar’s interviews with gay men from Dublin to New York, these songs capture tales of love, loss, family, spirituality, defiance and joy. 

Silver Stars has continues to astonish audiences worldwide. Commissioned by Bealtaine, the nationwide celebration of creativity in older age,

it went on to became the sell out hit of the Dublin Theatre Festival and has since been perfomed in the US, Finland, France and New Zealand
