“A gripping (as in by the throat) monologue of a play…seductive and terrifying”  – Ben Brantley, The New York Times

“Misterman is at once a deadly concentration and ambitious expansion of all Enda Walsh's plays to date.” – The Guardian

ABOUT THE PLAY

Thomas Magill desperately wants to be a good man. But he isn't. 

Enda Walsh’s Misterman, written for a solo performer, is a study of one man’s descent into religious mania in small-town Ireland. The play's action is set in 'an abandoned depot/dilapidated factory' in Inishfree, where loner Thomas Magill lives out his days, interacting with the people of the town via tape-recordings he has made of their voices or by impersonating them himself. Magill is a fierce evangelist, disgusted by the ungodliness of the townspeople. He knows that jovial Dwain Flynn is a miserable drunk, that Timmy O’Leary enslaves his lovely mother, and that sweet Mrs Cleary is a blasphemous flirt. He is convinced that it’s up to him to save the sinful place, but his deranged mental state leads to dire consequences for him and the town.
