The Playboy of the Western World | NT Live

Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton), Éanna Hardwick (Normal People) and Siobhán McSweeney (Derry Girls) star in John Millington Synge's Irish classic about youth and self-discovery.

Pegeen Flaherty's life is turned upside down when a young man walks into her pub and announces he has killed his father. Instead of being rejected, the killer becomes a local hero and begins to win the hearts of the townspeople - until an unexpected second man appears on the scene.

This darkly comic tale full of secrets is directed by Caitríona McLaughlin. The performance was filmed live on the stage of the National Theatre.
