Make it stand out

Playboy of the Western World

Step into the wild, windswept coast of County Mayo, where a sleepy Irish village is shaken by the arrival of Christy Mahon—a young man claiming to have killed his father. As the locals revel in his daring tale, Christy becomes an unlikely hero, sparking admiration, rivalry, and romance. But when the truth begins to unravel, the line between legend and reality blurs in this darkly comic masterpiece.

J.M. Synge’s iconic play is a riot of wit, poetry, and scandal, exploring themes of identity, storytelling, and the human hunger for drama. Expect laughter, shocks, and the raw beauty of Irish language and landscape brought to life on stage.
