Last Saturday, I treated myself to a trip to ‘The Man in the Woman’s Shoes’ at the Cork Opera House.
The performance of Mikel Murfi was immense. It is a one-man show where he includes words spoken by 7 or so other human characters who he meets on the day, and some non-humans. This was not done alone by tone and accent but also by posture and head position. The discussions between these various characters were powerful and so impressive to see.
The anecdote of telling the bees was new to me and again a different emotion so well portrayed.
The humour was spot on – both in terms of quality and quantity. The individual scenes were so well crafted and tied together.
The overall story was not so brilliant to be life-changing or forever to stay in the memory but it was a perfect medium to connect the scenes and provide for such a performance.
If it is nearby, I strongly recommend a night out – you will enjoy and be so impressed with Mikel Murfi.
