Christy Mahon, a stranger in town, has arrived at Flaherty’s Public House, fleeing the authorities,
boasting brutal deeds against his father, and exciting the locals with his violent tales.
The folk of dull and dreary County Mayo have certainly never seen a lad like this.

Even Flaherty’s daughter seems to have fallen for his dangerous charm.
But is he the hero they think he is?

And when the past catches up with him, will the locals still embrace his heroism or leave him stranded?

Come and see this authentic Irish comic play that had audiences rioting when first played in Dublin in 1907.

Political, poetical, provocative and frankly funny!
