The critically acclaimed one-woman play, Myra’s Story, ‘a masterclass in Irish Storytelling’ returns to the Palace Theatre Southend in November following its powerful performance in February this year. The play will be performed for one night only on Sunday 2 November 2025.
Meet Myra (played by acclaimed actor Fionna Hewitt-Twamley). Myra has fallen on hard times and is now homeless living on the streets of Dublin. Through her “vivid, virtuoso performance” (WhatsOnStage) Hewitt-Twamley plays a variety of unforgettable larger-than-life Dublin characters, recounting the hilarious and heart-wrenching events that have led her to this point in her life.

Everyone faces highs and lows in life, and Myra’s Story is a compelling, thought-provoking story that resonates with us all, through its humour and compassion.
Writer Brian Foster said:
“Since its inception, the play has built up a phenomenal fan base across the nation and I can’t wait for more audiences to experience this witty, eye-opening, and captivating story”.
Drama lovers will not want to miss this return performance by Myra’s Story, which had a powerful impact on audiences in Southend when it was performed at the Palace Theatre in February. Tickets are on sale now and can be booked via telephone on 0343 310 0030 or online at palacetheatresouthend.co.uk.
