About NT: Playboy of the Western World

Derry Girls reunion with Nicola Coughlin and Siobhan McSweeney in this acclaimed production.

Nicola Coughlan joins Éanna Hardwicke and Siobhán McSweeney in John Millington Synge’s riveting play of youth and self-discovery.

Pegeen Flaherty’s life is turned upside down when a young man walks into her pub claiming that he’s killed his father. Instead of being shunned, the killer becomes a local hero and begins to win hearts, that is until a second man unexpectedly arrives on the scene…

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Caitríona McLaughlin directs this darkly funny tale full to the brim with secrets.

From 1 December 2025, a Transaction Fee will apply to all bookings made through WTM, including online, in person, and by telephone. 

This fee helps cover the increased operational costs associated with processing bookings and maintaining our customer-focused ticketing systems. As public funding for the arts continues to decline, Transaction Fees are becoming commonplace across the UK cultural sector, allowing us to protect our programming, invest in digital improvements, and support exceptional customer service. 

As part of their members' benefits, WTM Members and Patrons will not pay a Transaction Fee. This will automatically be applied when you log into your online account. In person, please show your digital membership card to a member of the Ticketing & Sales team if purchasing your tickets at one of our Ticket & Sales Offices.
