OUTSIDE MULLINGAR Presented by SOAP Theatre ...by award-winning playwright, John Patrick Shanley, author of over 23 plays, which have been translated and performed around the world, including 80 productions a year in North America. He is perhaps best known for his creation of Doubt, Moonstruck, and Joe vs the Volcano. Rosemary and Anthony are two introverted misfits straddling 40. Anthony has spent his entire life on a cattle farm in rural Ireland, a state of affairs that, due to his painful shyness, suits him well. Rosemary lives right next door, determined to have him, watching the years slip away. With Anthony’s father threatening to disinherit him and a land feud simmering between their families, Rosemary has every reason to fear romantic catastrophe. But then, in this very Irish story with a depth of poetic passion, these yearning, eccentric souls fight their way towards solid ground and some kind of happiness. Their journey is heartbreaking, funny as hell, and ultimately deeply moving. Show Times - Frank Venables Theatre only
