Summer Vacation

Combining elements of comedy, tragedy and farce, The Playboy of the Western World is set in a remote village on the coast of Country Mayo in the west of Ireland. There is great excitement when a young man on the run from the police seeks shelter for the night in the village public house. His crime transforms him from an intensely shy young man to a local hero, but events unfold which cast doubt on his new-found status. After scandalising upright Dublin citizens at its premiere in 1907, this tragicomic masterpiece has been delighting and entertaining audiences the world over ever since.
