The Playboy of the Western World

by J.M. Synge
Directed by J.R. Sullivan

Quiet Christy Mahon staggers into a sleepy tavern and announces that he’s killed his father. Naturally, he becomes the toast of the town. J. M. Synge’s eccentric, high-spirited comedy celebrates the grand poetry and reckless abandon of the Irish imagination, taking us to a hardscrabble corner of the world where murderers speak in earthy music, the underdog rules on high, feisty damsels are eager to be won, and it’s the tale well told (and a dash of derring-do) that win the day.

Running Time: 2hrs, 20 min
There are two 12-minute intermissions.

FEATURING
Ellen Adair, Rachel Botchan, Stephanie Bratnick, Michael Brusasco, Bradford Cover, Dominic Cuskern, Julie Ferrell, Joe Kady, Sean McNall, Ryan G. Metzger, and Lee Stark.
