Highly acclaimed play set for Tullamore stage

Paddy - The Life & Times of Paddy Armstrong comes to Esker Arts on Friday next, February 27, at 8pm

Fifty years after his wrongful conviction, at the age of 74, Paddy Armstrong is facing into his twilight years and wrestling with a thousand turbulent memories.

In Paddy he relives the journey that forever altered his destiny. A one-man show, starring Don Wycherley as Paddy, the play is inspired by Paddy’s memoir Life After Life, a Guildford Four Memoir (2017).

'Paddy' is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of forgiveness, reminding us that the privilege of freedom and love, family and everyday life can restore us and mend the scars of even the most savage injustice.

Don Wycherley brings unflinching honesty, pathos and humour to his portrayal of Paddy, a man failed and scarred by a flawed system yet refusing to be defined by it.

Written by Mary-Elaine Tynan, Don Wycherley and Niamh Gleeson and produced/directed by Mary-Elaine Tynan
