Description
When The Playboy of the Western World was first performed in Ireland in 1907, the play prompted a series of riots in response to its treatment of the Irish working class and the controversial glorification of the morally questionable main character, Christy Mahon, who stumbles into a bar in a remote Irish coastal village, claiming that he's just murdered his father.
