Pegeen Flaherty’s life is turned upside down when a young man walks into her pub claiming that he’s killed his father. Instead of being shunned, the killer becomes a local hero and begins to win hearts, that is until a second man unexpectedly arrives on the scene.

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Caitríona McLaughlin (Artistic Director of the Abbey Theatre) directs John Millington Synge’s darkly funny tale full to the brim with secrets. Starring Éanna Hardwicke (Saipan, The Sixth Commandment), Nicola Coughlan (Derry Girls, Bridgerton, Big Mood) and Siobhán McSweeney (Derry Girls, Extraordinary).
