I saw ?The Playboy of the Western World? in New York and it definitely helps to read the story ahead of time. Is Christy Mahon a hero or a villain for killing his father? He is first praised and then vilified for the crime, making you believe that it?s the fault of his society that places him in such an awkward position. Everyone is shaken by Christy?s entrance into their lives, as he stirs up the small community.
The language of the play immediately transports us to another shore, while being easy to follow. The play is a study in humor, excitement and, oddly enough, love, as we witness the growing affection between a bar maid and a rogue who possesses little more than boldness and a sly tongue.
