Myra’s Story

This event has ended

Gaiety Theatre, Monday 5th May - Saturday 10th May

Direct from London’s West End and the four-time smash-hit at the Edinburgh Fringe, Myra’s Story tells the unforgettable tale of a middle-aged homeless alcoholic struggling to survive on the streets of Dublin as she begs from passers-by on the famous Ha’penny Bridge.

Written by Irish playwright Brian Foster and starring acclaimed actor Fíonna Hewitt-Twamley in her “vivid, virtuoso performance” (WhatsOnStage) as Myra who through her gripping performance plays a variety of larger-than-life Dublin characters, this turbulent piece explores the hilarious, tragic, and heart-wrenching events that have led Myra to this point of despair.

Hailed as an “outstanding play” (Broadway Baby) and having captivated over 150,000 theatregoers across Ireland, the UK and North America, this remarkable story will make you laugh, cry and above all, ensure you’ll never forget Myra.
