ODEON Cinemas Ireland have delightedly announced that The Playboy of the Western World, part of National Theatre Live, will be coming to cinemas across Ireland this season, as part of their Event Cinema offerings. The production will be screened across 10 ODEON locations nationwide, including Blanchardstown, Cavan, Charlestown, Coolock, Limerick, Newbridge, Point Square, Stillorgan and Waterford.
Directed by Caitríona McLaughlin and filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, this riveting revival of John Millington Synge’s classic explores youth, identity and the power of storytelling with a sharp, darkly comic edge.
The iconic Irish play is expected to resonate strongly with Irish audiences, not least due to its outstanding cast of acclaimed Irish talent, from Galway gem Nicola Coughlan to Saipan’s Éanna Hardwicke, along with Derry Girl’s Siobhán McSweeney, the play brings fresh energy and authenticity to one of Ireland’s most celebrated theatrical works.
The production offers audiences the unique opportunity to experience world-class theatre in their local cinema. Combining the immediacy of live theatre with the cinematic experience, National Theatre Live screenings offer audiences the chance to enjoy world-class productions from the best seats in the house at their local ODEON cinema.
With its rich Irish heritage, dark humour, and compelling storytelling, The Playboy of the Western World remains as powerful and relevant today as when it first premiered. ODEON anticipates strong interest nationwide and encourages audiences to book early.
Tickets are available now here.
