The Life and Times of Paddy Armstrong

Starring Don Wycherley Written and Produced by Mary-Elaine Tynan
This riveting production tells the life of Paddy Armstrong one of “The Guilford Four’

Fifty years after his wrongful conviction, at the age of 74, Paddy is facing into his twilight years and wrestling with a thousand turbulent memories. In Paddy he relives the journey that forever altered his destiny.

A one-man show, starring Don Wycherley as Paddy, the play is inspired by Paddy’s memoir Life After Life, a Guildford Four Memoir (2017). Paddy is a testament to the resilience of thehuman spirit and the power of forgiveness, reminding us that the privilege of freedom andlove, family and everyday life can restore us and mend the scars of even the most savage Injustice.

Don Wycherley brings unflinching honesty, pathos and humour to his portrayal of Paddy, a man failed and scarred by a flawed system yet refusing to be defined by it.

After standing ovations at every performance at The London Irish Centre in October 2025, the play will be returning to London in 2026 when it comes to the Irish Cultural Centre on Sat 21st and Sunday 22nd February.
