The Mysterious Case of Kitsy Rainey 

Following on from The Man in the Woman's Shoes and I Hear You and Rejoice, this new one-man theatre show written and performed by Mikel Murfi, the third in the series, takes us on a very unusual and otherworldly journey. 

Having married Kitsy Rainey late in life, cobbler Pat Farnon finally decides to lift the lid on a life previously lived by his wife. And all the while Pat faces down his own reckoning. 

Tender, heartfelt, and joyously funny, The Mysterious Case of Kitsy Rainey finishes out Pat Farnon's journey in a most unexpected way. 

"Boisterously funny… Murfi, the play's author, director, and shape-shifting star, is a marvel of characterization and vocalization." - The New York Times 

"Tender, heartfelt and funny" - Theater Scene 

"With its deep appreciation of our fallen world and its innumerable grotesqueries, [this] is a Celtic knot of a play in which hilarity and sorrow are deeply intertwined" - Lighting and Sound America 

The Mysterious Case of Kitsy Rainey is the third collaboration between Sligo County Council Arts Service, Hawk’s Well Theatre, Sligo, and Mikel Murfi. Additional support for The Mysterious Case of Kitsy Rainey was provided by Irish Arts Center, New York.
