SUMMARY:The Playboy of the Western World
DESCRIPTION:Class 12 students of Titirangi Rudolf Steiner School present The Playboy of the Western World by JM Synge adapted and directed by Sasha Matthewman. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Playboy of the Western World (1907) is a raging comedy written by the ‘Irish Shakespeare’\, John Millington Synge. Set in County Mayo\, Ireland\, at the turn of the twentieth century\, the play throbs with the tensions between the English overlords and the Irish peasantry and feeds on the rising tide of rebellion against brutal colonial law. \nStranger Christy Mahon walks into a rural Shebeen bar and claims to have killed his own father. The small Catholic community is soon caught up in the romance of the daring stranger – hailing his story as a brave act of defiance against an oppressor.  Girls fall at his feet and the men look to him as a true Irish hero. But as the story of the killing is retold\, events take a sudden turn that show the gap between ‘a gallous deed and a squabble in your own backyard.’ \nViolently funny\, poetic\, and strangely sinister in its references to classical myth and tragedy this is a play to stir up the soul and rouse the spirit. \n\n\n\n\n\n  \nWednesday 9 September | 7pm \nThursday 10 September | 7pm \nFriday 11 September | 7pm \nLopdell House Theatre\, Titirangi \nBook your tickets here or in the school office. \nDoors open 6:30pm \nRefreshments available before the show\, and during intermission. \nNote: Seating is not allocated.
