Back by popular demand following two sold out runs, the one-man play inspired by Paddy Armstrong’s memoir Life After Life, a Guildford Four Memoir returns to The Viking starring Don Wycherley in the title role.
Fifty years after his wrongful conviction, at the age of 74, Paddy Armstrong is facing into his twilight years and wrestling with a thousand, turbulent memories. In Paddy he relives the journey that forever altered his destiny.
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.
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 is incandescent in this journey from disaster to redemption"– The Irish Times
