NT Live 2026: The Playboy of the Western World (National Theatre Live)

  • Leconfield Hall Market Square Petworth, England, GU28 0AN United Kingdom (map)

Part of our 2026 Live Arts Series, streamed to our cinema screen and in full surround sound.

Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton) joins Éanna Hardwicke (The Sixth Commandment) and Siobhán McSweeney (Derry Girls) in John Millington Synge’s riveting play of youth and self-discovery.

Pegeen Flaherty’s life is turned upside down when a young man walks into her pub claiming that he’s killed his father. Instead of being shunned, the killer becomes a local hero and begins to win hearts, that is until a second man unexpectedly arrives on the scene…

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Caitríona McLaughlin directs this darkly funny tale full to the brim with secrets.
