His best known play The Playboy of the Western World was poorly received, due to its bleak ending, depiction of Irish peasants, and idealisation of parricide, leading to hostile audience reactions and riots in Dublin during its opening run at the Abbey Theatre.

The first performance of Seán O'Casey's the Plough and the Stars took place at the Abbey theatre on 8 February 1926. The play was well received on its opening night. But on subsequent nights audience unrest began and on 11 February Cumann na mBan and Sinn Féin members rioted at perceived insults to the men who had died during the Rising.

The Playboy of the Western World by John Millington Synge was first performed at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, on 26 January 1907. It is set in Michael James Flaherty's public house in Mayo during the early 1900s. It tells the story of Christy Mahon, a young man running away from his farm, claiming he killed his father.

Just one more week. I couldn’t be prouder of or more grateful to everyone who helped make it happen. Not to mention everyone who’s come along during the run so far. THANK YOU. I truly don’t want it to end, but there are just eight shows left, with some tickets left for all of them, particularly early next week. I’d love to see you there. 🙏 www.abbeytheatre.ie

Skipping ahead almost 50 years, our latest production is The Last Return by Sonya Kelly, a new Irish comedy running at the Gate Theatre, Dublin.

Looking forward to getting to know our Mastodon neighbours and sharing our stories with you!
