Outside Mullingar is set in the Midlands of Ireland, and involves two farmers, Anthony and Rosemary, two introverted misfits straddling 40, who live next to each other. Rosemary has been romantically interested in Anthony her entire life. Anthony, who is shy and unaware of Rosemary’s feelings, dislikes farming, so his father intends to leave the farm to a nephew. 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 surprising depth of poetic passion, these yearning, eccentric souls fight their way towards solid ground and some happiness. Their journey is heartbreaking, funny, and ultimately deeply moving. Outside Mullingar is a compassionate, delightful work about how it’s never too late to take a chance on love.

“A softhearted comedy freckled with dark reflections on the unsatisfactory nature of life and the thorns of love.” —The New York Times.

“Outside Mullingar is a valentine to the wonder and weirdness of love.” —New York Daily News.
