NT Live – The Playboy of the Western World – Matinee

About the film

The Lark is delighted to welcome National Theatre – NT Live to Balbriggan.

NT Live presents the best of British theatre on screen. A live theatre performance is filmed with multiple cameras. Each production is approached uniquely making sure it is always captured in the best possible way for cinema screens.

For our first collaboration we will be screening the recent Sold Out West End production of “ The Playboy of the Western World”. 

Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton) joins Éanna Hardwicke (The Sixth Commandment) and Siobhán McSweeney (Derry Girls) in John Millington Synge’s riveting play of youth and self-discovery.

Pegeen Flaherty’s life is turned upside down when a young man walks into her pub claiming that he’s killed his father. Instead of being shunned, the killer becomes a local hero and begins to win hearts, that is until a second man unexpectedly arrives on the scene…

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Caitríona McLaughlin directs this darkly funny tale full to the brim with secrets.
