The Playboy of the Western World November 4, 2010

Carlmont High School presents The Playboy of the Western World, an unromanticized comic portrait of Ireland's rural peasants; a work celebrated for its humor, insight, imagination, and power. This play tells the story of Christy Mahon, a young man running away from his farm, claiming he killed his father. The locals are more interested in vicariously enjoying his story than in condemning the immorality of his murderous deed. He then captures the romantic attention of the bar-maid Pegeen Mike.
