On The Peacock Stage

‘I appeal to you to watch out for it – an enchanting show, hilarious.’ Gay Byrne

It is October 1978, Pope John Paul I is not long dead. Autumn is closing in and Pat Farnon has ‘some business’ to do in town.

A charming encounter with an ageing man who has a boundless enthusiasm for life, The Man In The Woman’s Shoes is hilariously funny, tender and at times downright daft.

Originally commissioned by The Hawk’s Well Theatre, Sligo with the Sligo County Council Arts Service as part of the Bealtaine Festival 2012. The Man In The Woman’s Shoes has been touring throughout Ireland and we are delighted to welcome this fantastic one man show to the Abbey Theatre.
