PADDY
The Life and Times of Paddy Armstrong

SOLD OUT

By Mary-Elaine Tynan, Don Wycherley & Niamh Gleeson

With Don Wycherley as Paddy

Produced/ Directed by Mary-Elaine Tynan

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.
