NT Live presents The Playboy of the Western World by JM Synge, directed by Caitríona McLaughlin

Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton) joins Éanna Hardwicke (The Sixth Commandment) and Siobhán McSweeney (Derry Girls) in John Millington Synge’s riveting play exploring youth and self-discovery.

Pegeen Flaherty’s life is turned upside down when a young man enters her pub claiming that he’s killed his father. Rather than being shunned, the killer becomes a local hero and begins to win hearts – until, that is, a second man unexpectedly arrives on the scene…

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Caitríona McLaughlin directs this darkly funny tale full to the brim with secrets.
