This site is specific to the Canadian production of a hit Irish solo play.
Based in southern Ontario, Canada, this production continues available and at large.
Hilarious and heartbreaking, Myra’s Story portrays a day in the life of a homeless "wine connoisseur," as she begs for money from passers-by in Dublin, Ireland. Jumping from character to colourful character, Myra Hennessy shares her powerful story, explaining how she came to arrive at her present state with street-smart style, wry wit and unflinching honesty.
Audiences have laughed and cried with Myra — often at the same time — as she recounts her adventures, becoming the characters who have shaped her life, from her irascible father and idealistic husband, to her neighbours: Tina the Tap, Big Bridie and Jimmy the Tadpole.
Beginning her narrative as she recovers from a raucous celebration of her 48th birthday, Myra reflects on her attempt to escape what her father calls “the beast” by marrying at 16 and beginning a new life with her beloved Tommy McLaughlin.
