Paddy is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of forgiveness, reminding us that the privilege of freedom and love, family and everyday life can restore us and mend the scars of even the most savage injustice.
Don Wycherley brings unflinching honesty, pathos and humour to his portrayal of Paddy, a man failed and scarred by a flawed system yet refusing to be defined by it.
“Wycherley is superlative in this exquisitely tender portrayal of Paddy Armstrong” – Emer O’Kelly, Sunday Independent
“This is writing and acting at its most powerful… a totally engrossing experience. It truly is a show not to be missed” – Michael Harnett, playwright
