Description
The play described by audiences as the finest, funniest, most heart-breaking piece of theatre they’ve ever seen.
From London's West End where every performance received a huge standing ovation, Myra's Story quickly sold out three nights at the Grand Opera House last year.
This is the incredible story of middle-aged homeless alcoholic, Myra McLaughlin living rough on the streets of Dublin. As she begs from passers-by at her regular spot by Ha’penny Bridge, Myra recreates her rollercoaster backstory. Playing all the larger-than-life Dublin characters (male and female), acting out all the hilarious/tragic/heartbreaking events in her life that have taken her to this pitiful state.
Seen by over 150,000 theatregoers in Ireland, UK, USA and Canada. You’ll laugh with Myra. You’ll cry with Myra. What you’ll never do is forget Myra.
- Admission £24.50 - £38.50
