About the show

At the edge of the earth, you could be anyone. Pegeen Flaherty’s life is turned upside down when, on a normal day, a young man walks into her pub claiming that he’s killed his father. Instead of being shunned, the killer Christy Mahon becomes a local hero. The welcome murderer wins hearts and races as he beds himself into village life. That is until a second man unexpectedly arrives on the scene… __Caitríona McLaughlin__ (Artistic Director of the Abbey Theatre, Dublin) directs __Nicola Coughlan__ (Bridgerton), __Éanna Hardwicke__ (The Sixth Commandment) and __Siobhán McSweeney__ (Derry Girls) in John Millington Synge’s riveting story of youth and self-discovery. __For assisted performances and people with access requirements, please book directly through the National Theatre.__
