The Man In The Woman's Shoes
Town Hall Theatre / 26 Aug 2026
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.
"Astonishing...this is a high-top performance" New York Times Critic's Pick
"A miniature masterpiece" The Times, London
"Extraordinary physical performance... sharp observational comedy" The Sunday Times
