By John Millington Synge Directed by Jeffrey Stephens All performances at 7:30 pm, except as noted. October 16th, 2 PM Matinee "I'm thinking this night wasn't I a foolish fellow not to kill my father in the years gone by." The Playboy of the Western World stirred its audience to riot in 1907. Synge's raucous black comedy is about an Irish village in awe of a man who claims to have killed his father. It is finally not a tale of murder, but rather a masterful study of the ways of the human heart. After all: "There's a great temptation in a man did slay his da." View Program
