Wexford boxing fans will have another opportunity to see Olympic champion Katie Taylor live on stage next year, after an additional performance of HERstory: The Katie Taylor Story was added at the National Opera House following the sell-out of the first event….
The two-part live experience will take place in Wexford on Thursday, May 13 (sold out) and Friday, May 14, 2027, with both performances scheduled to begin at 7.30pm.
The production will offer audiences an insight into the life and career of one of Ireland’s greatest sporting figures, combining a theatrical performance with a live interview featuring Taylor herself.
The first half of the evening will explore Taylor’s journey from her childhood in Bray through to the conclusion of her amateur boxing career in 2016. It will look at the determination, ambition and challenges that helped shape her rise to the top of world boxing.
The second half will see Taylor take to the stage for an in-depth conversation with renowned British boxing journalist and broadcaster Steve Bunce, who has covered the sport for decades.
Taylor launched the production earlier this year, explaining that she was looking forward to sharing more of her story with audiences around the country.
The show is directed by Andrew Flynn, Director of Theatre at Galway Arts Centre, and produced by Taylor’s manager, Brian Peters.
Standard tickets for the Wexford performances are priced at €76 plus facility fee, while a limited VIP package is also available for €299 plus facility fee.
The VIP experience includes a personal meet-and-greet with Taylor, a professional photograph, a signed and authenticated boxing glove, and premium seating.
The National Opera House performances form part of a wider Irish theatre tour, which will also visit Tralee, Waterford, Galway, Dublin and Castlebar during 2027.
Tickets and further information are available through the National Opera House.
