Thomas Magill is a marginalised member of a small Irish town called Inishfree, who reenacts a day in his life through a series of tape recordings. This is clearly routine for Thomas – he knows the nuances of the conversations, the timings of responses. But witnessing the towns sins becomes too much for him and with one desperate act, the cycle is complete.
Misterman was originally performed by WUDS and Tech Crew in the Warwick Arts Centre before being taken on as the first show for Pound of Flesh, travelling to Nanshan Theatre Festival in Shenzhen for two sold-out performances.
"there is a town where angels from heaven come to visit earth"
