Appearing as Lauren Laverne's final act of her Wonder Women curated series of shows hosted at the Globe, this was where Murphy shone brightly beneath a full Shakespearean moon.
"Who's playing tonight? Othello? Midsummer Night's Dream? Nikki Murphy's daughter?" Roisin asked at one point during proceedings. You could tell how much Roisin loved being on that stage; even though the Globe has no roof, it felt very intimate.
Starting off with Mastermind, and playing songs from Hairless Toys like Gone Fishing and Evil Eyes, this was a set that had everyone toe-tapping, clapping and thigh slapping.
In between tracks, we were treated to verses of Shakespeare; her introduction to Ten Miles High included a thrilling mashup of a Shakespeare quote and the Irish classic (and title of her latest album) Take Her Up to Monto.
There were songs in Italian, there were songs from her Moloko era, there were constant costume changes; the crowd lapping up every second. This was exhilarating, this was exciting, this was an - I'm not sure what is going to happen next - kind of set. This was the best of Roisin Murphy.
