The Man in the Woman's Shoes
Galway City, Co. Galway
26 August 2026
The Man in a Woman's Shoes - a One-Man theatre show written and directed by Mikel Murfi. 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 Man in The Woman's Shoes follows Pat Farnon as he walks to town and back again. It is a beautifully observed piece, utterly simple and widely praised. The show is funny, tender and at times downright daft.

Commissioned by the Hawk's Well Theatre, Sligo and Sligo Arts Office as part of Bealtaine 2012.
