National Theatre Live: The Playboy of the Western World in Groningen

Director Caitríona McLaughlin

In this compelling Irish theatrical classic, Pegeen Flaherty’s life in a remote village pub is turned upside down when a mysterious stranger arrives. He claims to have killed his own father, a confession that, rather than making him an outcast, turns him into a local hero. As he begins to win the hearts of the villagers, tensions rise until a second man unexpectedly arrives on the scene, threatening to expose the truth.
