Fantastic day of drama at Westport Town Hall Theatre

On Saturday next, August 22nd, Westport Town Hall Theatre are thrilled to host Mikel Murfi’s incredible trilogy of plays following the life of small-town cobbler Pat Farnon.

This fantastic day of drama starts with The Man in the Woman’s Shoes at 1pm. 

Just outside of town, cobbler Pat Farnon lives on his own, contentedly aging in the cottage in which he was reared. Join him as he walks the five miles into his metropolis, populated with no-necked water diviners, sporting savants, loudmouths, and preachers. 

The day continues with I Hear You and Rejoice at 4pm. From the football field to the chapel floor, Kitsy always has the final word. By turns moving and hilarious, her friends and neighbours celebrate the impact Kitsy has made on her community. 

The day will conclude with the third and final part of the trilogy The Mysterious Case of Kitsy Rainey in the evening at 8pm. Having married Kitsy Rainey late in life, cobbler Pat Farnon finally decides to lift the lid on a life previously lived by his wife.

The trilogy featured in the New York Times Critics Pick, which described it as follows: "Astonishing...this is a high-top performance.”
