The wonderful Patrick Kealey in action (photo: Peter Mould).

Welcome back, Archy and Mehitabel!

Patrick Kealey’s divine performance of The Life & Rhymes of Archy and Mehitabel can be seen at Tadhg Mae Gallery on George Street in Hastings on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 September. Entertainment with bite coming to the heart of Hastings Old Town, as Kate Hodges reports.

Tickets now on sale here.

Don’t miss this sparkling, funny, dynamic one-man show, set in New York’s Jazz Age in this magical, intimate Old Town venue.

Poor Archy – trapped in the body of a cockroach – reflects on the insanity and inanity of humanity as he records his memoirs on a newly-discovered typewriter.

Patrick Kealy welcomes you to a joyful celebration of Don Marquis’ lyricism and wit; this is a production to find happiness in the ludicrous. Fast-paced and razor-sharp, it’s a chance to go on a journey through life’s foibles and the big stuff, whilst reminding everyone that life is for living, not to be taken for granted.

Patrick is celebrating a 50 year career on stage, and Archy is the party he wants to bring to stage for audiences of all ages.

Patrick Kealey is an award-winning writer, actor, and director. With critically acclaimed productions of Caravan of Love (2020), Fiction Romance (2021), and has recently been performing as Estragon in David Glass’s revival of Waiting For Godot, as well as preparing for his national tour of The Life & Rhymes of Archy & Mehitabel, a celebration of his broad-spanning professional career over the last 50 years.

Presented by Theatre Nation.
