The Playboy of the Western World
Sedgwick Theater
7137 Germantown Ave. Philadelphia
A young man walks into a rural tavern and declares that he has murdered his abusive father in self-defense. He is beloved by the locals and heralded as a hero until the truth of his past is revealed. A riotous comedy, J.M. Synge's timely tale looks at the power of personality over facts, challenges the wisdom of popular opinion, and asks us what separates criminality from heroism. Performed in rotating repertory with The Synge Triptych as part of the The Synge Festival.
