Gráinne grew up believing she and her father were saving for a family helicopter. But as she moves through adulthood, a different inheritance begins to take hold, a genetic kidney disease, long looming in the background of her life, finally demands centre stage.

In this deeply personal and darkly funny solo performance, Gráinne charts her journey from carefree childhood to the clinical realities of dialysis, transplant lists, and uncertain futures. Along the way, she brings to life a vivid cast of characters, family members, doctors, nurses, and her younger self, capturing moments of tenderness, absurdity, and fear with equal honesty. Blending storytelling, music, and sharp wit, Saving for a Helicopter is a moving exploration of illness, identity, and legacy. It asks what we inherit from those we love, what we carry in our bodies, and how we keep going when there is no escape route, only the fragile, stubborn persistence of hope.
