The wait will have been worth it.
Mikel Murfi is returning to the Geneva stage following his spellbinding performance earlier this year in ‘The Man in the Woman’s Shoes.’ It won him a standing ovation and GLAS received many emails from audience members looking forward to the next instalment of this fascinating trilogy (see below).
Murfi is back for one performance only of the acclaimed follow-up show in the Kitsy Rainey trilogy with ‘I Hear You and Rejoice.’ The good news for anyone who missed the first instalment is that while each episode complements the other, they can also be viewed as stand-alone pieces. As the New York Times says: ‘The words provide a welcome excuse for Mr. Murfi’s astonishing acting.’
The proceeds from this evening will support the Edith Wilkins Foundation for Street Children in Darjeeling, who are currently experiencing a funding crisis.
What the critics say:
“Here it is, pure distilled 100 per cent proof theatrical magic, conjured up by one man on one chair on an otherwise bare stage. The boundless power of words and storytelling to conjure worlds to involve and enchant an audience has rarely been so clearly demonstrated.” – London Evening Standard
“It’s impossible to resist the gale theatrical force as Mr. Murfi presents his heroine through a multi-angled prism, with body language as precise, condensed and evocative as Morse code.” – New York Times
What the GLAS audience said:
“A very big thank you for bringing Mikel Murfi to Geneva yesterday. He was absolutely brilliant. I’ve been going to the theatre for 50 years or so and can’t remember a more stunning performance. I left Coudriers buzzing.“
“…another unforgettable evening! What a talent and what emotions: I enjoyed every second and feel privileged to have been with you guys at this special event.“
“Thank you so much for an amazingly entertaining evening tonight! It was a brilliant show.“
“That was a super performance last night…. Can’t wait for parts 2 and 3!“
“Standing ovation well merited…. His energy and theatricals were stupendous while themes are universal. GLAS lives on. Best wishes in 2024.“
