The Playboy of the Western World

In a rural County Mayo pub, a timid young stranger named Christy Mahon arrives with a startling claim: that he has killed his father. Rather than being cast out, Christy is taken up as a figure of daring, and the locals begin to admire the swagger he seems to have found overnight. Barmaid Pegeen Mike is especially drawn to his new confidence, and the village's imagination quickly turns him into a kind of hero.
