At the edge of the earth, you could be anyone
Pegeen Flaherty?s life is turned upside down when, on a normal day, a young man walks into her pub claiming that he?s killed his father.
Instead of being shunned, the killer Christy Mahon becomes a local hero. The welcome murderer wins hearts and races as he beds himself into village life. That is until a second man unexpectedly arrives on the scene?
Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Caitrona McLaughlin directs this darkly funny tale full to the brim with secrets.
