Written by Irish playwright Brian Foster and starring acclaimed actor Fíonna Hewitt-Twamley in a “vivid, virtuoso performance” (WhatsOnStage) as Myra who through her gripping performance plays a variety of larger-than-life Dublin characters, this turbulent piece explores the hilarious, tragic, and heart-wrenching events that have led Myra to this point of despair.

Hailed as an “outstanding play” (Broadway Baby) and having captivated over 150,000 theatregoers across Ireland, the UK and North America, this remarkable story will make you laugh, cry and above all, ensure you’ll never forget Myra.

Not originally intended to be a theatre, the buildings that comprise the Grand Opera House York officially opened in 1902 with Little Red Riding Hood starring Florrie Ford. Since then it has been owned by FJ Butterworth, the Shepherd of Shambles and the India Pru Co. Ltd who spent £4,000,000 restoring the theatre to its former glory in 1987.
