We are honoured to be able to bring this hit show to Allingham.  Performing to full houses and receiving rave reviews all around Ireland and the UK this one- man show starring renowned actor Don Wycherley tells the story of Paddy Armstrong, one of the Guildford Four who were wrongfully imprisoned in Britain for 15 years. Their story was told in the film In the Name of the Father in 1993.  This piece, which was written and directed by Mary- Elaine Tynan delves deeply into how the ordeal affected one man, Paddy Armstrong. There is sadness, anger and despair in the piece but there is also no little humour and precious moments of joy.  It all adds up to a compelling night of theatre and you will leave rejoicing at the resilience of the human spirit. This is what has been said about the show:
