Written and performed by Mikel Murfi

In I Hear You and Rejoice and The Man in the Woman’s Shoes, one of Ireland’s most respected performers creates the characters of a bustling Irish town and its hinterland, capturing their vibrancy through snapshots of its two most disparate residents: the bashful, solitary cobbler, Pat Farnon, and the indomitable football manager, Kitsy Rainey.

Like all good companions, each production stands perfectly on its own—but together, they reveal a tender portrait of community and compassion.

I HEAR YOU AND REJOICE

Meet Kitsy

“Once in a lifetime, a woman the likes of Kitsy comes along and when she does, the universe has to expand to accommodate her.” From the GAA pitch to the chapel floor, Kitsy always has the final word. By turns moving and hilarious, her friends and neighbors recall the—often literal—marks Kitsy Rainey has left on her community.
