SYNOPSIS: Outside Mullingar tells the story of two neighboring families whose lives have been intertwined for generations. Anthony and Rosemary, two quirky misfits on either side of a land dispute, must navigate family feuds, personal insecurities, and long-buried feelings. Their journey of discovery reveals that hope and connection can emerge from even the most unexpected places.
John Patrick Shanley, who also wrote the filmscript for Moonstruck and the play Doubt, captured the Irish poetic dialect in his writing, wrote a cheerful upbeat play without betraying the serious conflicts which exist not only in Ireland but everywhere with humor.
