The Department of Theatre and Dance is proud to present: The Playboy of the Western World J.M. Synge’s eccentric, high-spirited comedy celebrates the grand poetry and reckless abandon of the Irish imagination, taking us to a hardscrabble corner of the world where murderers speak in earthy music, the underdog rules on high, feisty damsels are eager to be won, and it’s the tale well told that wins the day. Undeniably, J.M. Synge is considered the pivotal Irish playwright of the early 20th century.
