At the edge of the earth, you could be anyone

Pegeen Flaherty’s life is turned upside down when, on a normal day, a young man walks into her pub claiming that he’s killed his father.

Instead of being shunned, the killer Christy Mahon becomes a local hero. The welcome murderer wins hearts and races as he beds himself into village life. That is until a second man unexpectedly arrives on the scene…

Nicola Coughlan stars as 'Pegeen Mike' in Playboy of the Western World from December 4th through to February 28th at the National Theatre. Tickets are available here.
