The Playboy of the Western World

By John Millington Synge

Directed by Sally Anderson

NOVEMBER 8-23, 2024

On one level, this Irish romantic comedy tells the story of the bored, parochial villagers of County Mayo, who inexplicably fall head over heels for an odd little stranger who wanders into their pub. He is on the way to finding his true love and his manhood, while claiming to have murdered his father! On another level, the play tells a story of human frailty, and the ways people find love, joy, and hope where they can. As with any great story, the truth is somewhere in the middle. The dialogue alone is worth the price of the ticket.
