Don Wycherley stars in this one-man play inspired by Paddy Armstrong’s memoir Life After Life, a Guildford Four Memoir

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.

“Wycherley is superlative in this exquisitely tender portrayal of Paddy Armstrong” Sunday Independent

“Stunning play and performance. Don’t miss it” Alastair Logan (Guildford Four solicitor)

“Don Wycherley in the performance of his life…unforgettable” Joe Duffy

By Mary-Elaine Tynan, Don Wycherley & Niamh Gleeson
