Two Sore Legs

Synopsis:
Brenda Murphy's autobiographical one-woman play is based on the experiences of her own mother, who had 6 children by a married man who lived nearby with his own family in the 1950s! Acclaimed actress, Maria Connolly, purrs, struts, weeps and explodes around the stage in equal measure. Two Sore Legs combines humour, pain and joy, captured perfectly by Murphy's quick wit and energy.
