Written by Brian Foster and starring Fíonna Hewitt-Twamley, Myra’s Story embarks on a new UK and Ireland 2025 Tour.

Direct from London’s West End and four smash-hit seasons at the Edinburgh Fringe, Myra’s Story, ‘a masterclass in Irish Storytelling’ embarks on a brand-new UK & Ireland tour from February 2025  – with a date in Dublin’s Gaiety Theatre from 5 – 10 May 2025.

Meet Myra (played by acclaimed actor Fionna Hewitt-Twamley). Myra has fallen on hard times and is now homeless living on the streets of Dublin. Through her “vivid, virtuoso performance” (WhatsOnStage) Hewitt-Twamley plays a variety of unforgettable larger-than-life Dublin characters, recounting the hilarious and heart-wrenching events that have led her to this point in her life. 

Everyone faces highs and lows in life, and Myra’s Story is a compelling, thought-provoking story that resonates with us all, through its humour and compassion. 

Myra's Story

Writer Brian Foster said: “I couldn’t be more delighted to bring Myra’s Story back to the stage in this exciting new tour across the UK & Ireland. Since its inception, the play has built up a phenomenal fan base across the nation and I can’t wait to bring it to new cities so that more audiences can experience this witty, eye-opening, and captivating story”.

Performances for the new tour of Myra’s Story begin on 4 February 2025 at the Wyvern Theatre, Swindon. Further details below.
