Mikel Murfi's latest one-man show, Oh, has taken the Galway Festival by storm, delivering a masterclass in storytelling that leaves audiences spellbound. Performed at the Atlantaquaria venue, the production showcases Murfi's unparalleled ability to weave humour, heartbreak, and humanity into a single, unforgettable performance.
A Tour de Force Performance
Murfi, a seasoned performer and playwright, commands the stage with effortless charisma.

The audience is transported into a world where laughter and tears coexist, all guided by Murfi's impeccable timing and emotional authenticity.
Poignant and Profound
The narrative of Oh is both intimate and universal, exploring themes of love, loss, and resilience. Murfi's writing is sharp yet tender, with moments of levity that punctuate the deeper, more reflective passages. The simplicity of the staging allows the power of the story to take centre stage, proving that sometimes, less truly is more.
Audience Reactions
Those fortunate enough to attend the Galway Festival performances have praised the show as "a triumph of storytelling" and "a reminder of theatre's transformative power." Murfi's ability to connect with his audience on such a personal level is a testament to his skill as both a writer and performer.
