See it if Irish theatre and one man shows are your thing. This is beautifully performed and written and quite poignant. A wonderful conclusion.
Don't see it if you haven’t seen the other parts of the trilogy. It says it can stand on its own, I’m not so sure. It certainly is more poignant alongside
See it if A story told from the viewpoint of one man who is grieving the loss of his wife while his own life is nearing its end. Very interesting.
Don't see it if You are not a fan of one person shows.
See it if The well-perf play is abt Pat,a cobbler who decides to"lift the lid"on a life previously lived by his wife Kitsy.Strg writin&actin by Murfy.
Don't see it if U find the topic of mortality uncomfortable, even in a sublime story. Some slow moments, though hilarious at times.
See it if You enjoy a one man show- which touches on life and death--truth and betrayal...You want to see a talented artist do his thing!
Don't see it if You have no interest in one man shows and don't have the patience to sit as the story unfolds.

“It would be a mistake to come to this play without an existing affection for and curiosity about Kitsy. But if you have those, Murfi has answers to sate you — even as you watch Pat, in his anger and pain, try to reconcile her love with her tenacious secrecy.”

Mikel Murfi skillfully brings to life a handful of colorful characters in a rural town where Farnon is the cobbler. The transitions from one character to the next are done with shifts in posture and tone of voice that imbues each transition with the physical and verbal nuances that define the character. It is an interesting tale, rough in places and a bit too long in exposition, but well told by a seasoned actor whose performance is worth spending time on.
