The Playboy of the Western World (2004 Season)

Christy Mahon, a shy youth taken in as a potboy at a county Mayo pub, becomes a local wonder when he reveals that he has slain his terror of a father and fled. The daughter of the publican, Pegeen Mike, and the Widow Quinn vie for the affections of so brave a lad.

Reveling in his changed status, Christy wonders why he was so foolish as "not to kill my father in the years gone by." He triumphs in local sports and winds the spirited Pegeen away from her terrified fiance. Old Mahon shows up, however, battered but alive, seeking his son, and the cheers (including Pegeen's) turn to jeers. With his new-found assurance Christy turns the tables, tames his father, and walks out on Pegeen Mike to be the "Playboy of the Western World."
