The Playboy of the Western World
The Playboy of the Western World
By J.M. Synge
Livin’ Dred Theatre present a riotous new production of J.M. Synge’s masterpiece The Playboy of the Western World, in a staging that crackles with wit, heroism, humor, and a touch of the absurd.
The Playboy of the Western World is a comic delight and a lyrical exploration of the power of storytelling and the dangerous allure of fame, in a small rural village where strict morality and simmering, raw desires collide. A comic tour-de-force and a tragic love story, The Playboy remains as outrageous, beloved and shocking today as it was when it first ignited riots over a century ago.
Award-winning Aaron Monaghan directs a stunning cast of some of Ireland’s best-loved actors, in a wild, insightful new production, teeming with Synge’s rich lyrical language, biting satire and sensational characters.
Experience the comedy, chaos, and controversy of one of Ireland’s most beloved plays with Livin’ Dred’s savage new production of J.M. Synge’s scandalous classic The Playboy of the Western World.
