Playboy of the Western World

Playboy of the Western World tells the tale of young Christy Mahon who arrives in an isolated village and impresses all with his gory confession. Christy is on the run after splitting open his father’s head with a shovel and his story grows with his reputation until the whole town declares him the champion ‘Playboy of the Western World.’ Passions run high when his tell-and-kiss story wins him local girl Pegeen, but when a jilted lover and a jealous widow oppose the match, the plot thickens. A wake, a sports day and a marriage proposal mean there’s never a dull moment but the sudden appearance of the person you’d least expect puts the scuppers on Christy’s plans.

There are additional performances on Sundays, November 20 & 27 at 3pm.
