About this Event

The Playboy of the Western World
by John Millington Synge
Directed by Caitríona McLaughlin

Nicola Coughlan, Éanna Hardwicke and Siobhán McSweeney lead the cast in John Millington Synge’s riveting new play.

Pegeen Flaherty’s life is turned upside down when a young man walks into her pub claiming that he’s killed his father. Instead of being shunned, the killer becomes a local hero and begins to win hearts, that is until a second man unexpectedly arrives on the scene…
Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Caitríona McLaughlin directs this darkly funny tale full to the brim with secrets.
