# Event Details

- **Event Name**: National Theatre Live: The Playboy of the Western World
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 28 May, 2026 at 07:00 am (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: John Millington Synge’s brilliantly dark and witty classic comes to the screen in this bold new production, directed by Caitríona McLaughlin.

Starring Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton), Éanna Hardwicke (The Sixth Commandment), and Siobhán McSweeney (Derry Girls), this riveting play explores youth, rebellion and the power of storytelling.

When a young man bursts into Pegeen Flaherty’s pub claiming he has killed his father, the village reacts in the most unexpected way — turning him into a local hero. But as admiration grows and secrets unravel, the story begins to shift… and so does the truth.

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, this darkly funny and sharply observed tale is packed with drama, humour and surprising twists.
