About The Playboy of the Western World
Directed by NOCCA Theatre Arts faculty member Janet Shea, this sensual Irish comic classic, drunk with poetry and ironic laughter, takes a hilarious look at murder, mayhem, deceit and first love. Riots greeted the show’s Dublin premiere in 1907, but the play still strikes a chord today, in our society of instant fame and notorious celebrity, because of Synge’s indictment of humankind for the folly and fickleness of the love of hero.
