About This Event

NT Live: The Playboy of the Western World will be broadcast live from 6 October 2026 at The Everyman in Cork. It features a transmission of the Irish classic play by JM Synge. Attendees should check the website for ticket availability.

The Playboy of the Western World is a three-act play written by Irish playwright John Millington Synge, first performed at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, on 26 January 1907. The work is considered a centerpiece of the Irish Literary Revival movement and influenced numerous other writers of the period, but was initially met with riots and protests in Dublin when it first premiered. It is set in Michael James Flaherty's public house in County Mayo during the early 1900s, and tells the story of Christy Mahon, a young man running away from his farm, claiming he killed his father.
