Hilarious and heartbreaking, MYRA'S STORY by Irish playwright Brian Foster, portrays a day in the life of a homeless Dublin "wine connoisseur" as she begs for money from passers-by while recalling her life and how she came to arrive at her present state. As she tells her story, Myra introduces a colourful cast of characters from her past: Tina the Tap, Big Bridie, Jimmy the "Tadpole and a host of others.
