Starring Don Wycherley, 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 'Padd'y 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.
Inspired by Paddy Armstrong’s memoir 'Life After Life, a Guildford Four Memoir'.
Tickets, priced €27, are available from theatreroyal.ie
Waterford Film For All presents. 'It Was Just an Accident'. When a man and his family hit a dog with their car, they have no idea about the unexpected chain of events this accident will set in motion. Stopping at a garage to have their car repaired, they meet mechanic, Vahid. Recognising the man, Vahid is shaken, believing him to be his torturer from his time in an Iranian prison. The following day, Vahid kidnaps the man, intending to exact his vengeance. But as doubts start to creep in, he turns to a loose circle of other victims for confirmation. As they deal with their past and diverging worldviews, the group struggles to decide: Is this definitely their torturer? What would retribution actually mean, and can they carry it out?
Tickets priced €9/€7.50 (concessions), screening at 7.30pm
