I Hear You And Rejoice

Following the sellout success of The Man In The Woman’s Shoes, Mikel Murfi returns with a sequel one-man show. Late in his life, Pat Farnon, a cobbler and all-round contented man, embarks on a journey he had not quite planned and finds that every twist in the road can bring its own surprises.
