The Man in the Woman's Shoes nominated for Award

The Man in the Woman's Shoes has been nominated for an Irish Times Theatre Award in the Best New Play category.

Written and Performed by Mikel Murfi, the work was commissioned for Bealtaine 2012 by Sligo Arts Service and The Hawk’s Well Theatre with funding from Sligo County Council, Sligo Borough Council and the Arts Council of Ireland.

A one man show developed with older age groups in County Sligo by actor Mikel Murfi. Over the course of a month, Mikel met group members who shared stories about characters from the town and county who stand out in their collective memories.  Poignant, funny, charming and sometimes outrageous, the show brings to life an amalgam of the magical and sometimes contrary folk who were familiar here and about.

The Man in the Woman's Shoes returns to the Hawk's Well Theatre on Thursday 6th March.
