Outside Mullingar
Written by John Patrick Shanley

In the mist-shrouded farmlands of rural Ireland, Anthony and Rosemary live side by side, bound by family legacies, stubborn pride, and an unspoken longing that has lasted a lifetime. Anthony has spent his days quietly tending his father’s cattle farm, uncertain of his future and haunted by what might have been. Rosemary, his strong-willed neighbor, has waited years for him to see what’s been right in front of him all along.

This tender and funny play from Pulitzer Prize and Academy Award–winning writer John Patrick Shanley (Doubt, Moonstruck) explores the balance between love and land, inheritance and independence, and the courage it takes to follow one’s heart.

Brought to Sierra Madre Playhouse by The 6th Act, co-artistic directors Liza Seneca and Matthew Leavitt lead a distinguished cast including Michael Kirby, Liza Seneca, Armin Shimerman, and Kitty Swink.

In the Playhouse’s intimate setting, Outside Mullingar becomes a lyrical, deeply human story—funny, wistful, and full of hope for what love can bloom late in life.
