The Playboy of the Western World
Carlmont High School Performing Arts Department Presents
The Playboy of the Western World
Directed by Nancy Martin
at the Carlmont High School Performing Arts Center
Thurs - Sat, November 4 - 6 at 7pm, Sun. November 7 at 2pm
The Carlmont High School Performing Arts Department presents J.M. Synge's The Playboy of the Western World, a work celebrated for its humor, insight, imagination, and power set in a secluded tavern on the west coast of Ireland. The production is the unromanticized comic portrait of Ireland's rural peasants that once broke theatrical ground. Synge wants the audience to not only laugh at the characters but also notice their humanity in their faults and defects. Through situational and conversational humor, you will be drawn into this small pub in Ireland and be ensconced in the drama. The Playboy of the Western World will be performed on November 4 - 7 in the beautiful, new Carlmont High School Performing Arts Center at 1400 Alameda de las Pulgas in Belmont, CA.
The Playboy of the Western World tells the story of Christy Mahon, a young man running away from his farm, claiming he killed his father. The locals are more interested in vicariously enjoying his story than in condemning the immorality of his murderous deed. He captures the romantic attention of the bar-maid Pegeen Mike, the daughter of the bar owner, Flaherty.
"This play is laced with lively dialogue including exaggeration and colorful imagery. Audiences should come see the play to see the theatrical ground that Synge broke in this comedic drama," explains Nancy Martin, Director. "Let the Irish brogue wash over you to understand the satire and tragic elements of this play."
The production's cast members add up to a talented group of students from Carlmont High School under the directing talents of Nancy Martin.
The production will be the first performance in the newly finished Studio Theatre in the Carlmont Performing Arts Center. This intimate 70 person theatre will allow you to be a part of the set while experiencing the action of the play.
Purchase tickets at http://www.carlmontperformingarts.com/ or at the box office within 1 hour of curtain. $8 for Seniors and Students, $10 for Adults.
Let yourself be drawn into this Irish comedic drama.
