The Mysterious Case of Kitsy Rainey

The Mysterious Case of Kitsy Rainey is a new one man show written and performed by Mikel Murfi.

Following on from The Man In the Woman's Shoes and I Hear You and Rejoice, the new piece, the third in the series, takes us on a very unusual and otherworldly journey.

Having married Kitsy Rainey late in life, cobbler Pat Farnon finally decides to lift the lid on a life previously lived by his wife. And all the while Pat faces down his own reckoning.

Tender, heartfelt and joyously funny The Mysterious Case of Kitsy Rainey finishes out Pat Farnon's journey in a most unexpected way.

The Mysterious Case of Kitsy Rainey was created with support from Sligo County Council Arts Service, The Hawk’s Well Theatre, Sligo and Irish Arts Center, New York.

The first of Mikel Murfi's trilogy The Man in the Woman’s Shoes, will perform at Hawk's Well Theatre on Friday 30 January and again at Art Deco Theatre, Ballymote, on Friday 20 February. Also at Art Deco you can catch Murfi's acclaimed companion piece I Hear You and Rejoice on Friday, 27 March.
