Fifty years after his wrongful conviction, at the age of 74, Paddy is facing into his twilight years and wrestling with a thousand turbulent memories. In Paddy, he relives the journey that forever altered his destiny.
A one-man show starring Don Wycherley as Paddy, the play is inspired by Paddy’s memoir Life After Life, a Guildford Four Memoir (2017).
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 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.
“Incredible… Don Wycherley in the performance of his life… Unforgettable”
“Stunning play and performance. Don’t miss it”
“This is writing and acting at its most powerful… a totally engrossing experience. It truly is a show not to be missed”
“A superb production. Wycherley is captivating, and we hung on his every word”
"Don Wycherley is incandescent in this journey from disaster to redemption"
"Wycherley is superlative in this exquisitely tender portrayal of Paddy Armstrong"
