The Playboy of the Western World

BBC One
on BBC One London

by J. M. Synge
A Play of the Month presentation starring John Hurt, Sinead Cusack
with Pauline Delany, Joe Lynch and Kevin Flood

A fine, wild story of love and attempted murder. Synge says 'in a good play every speech should be as fully flavoured as a nut or apple.' In Playboy they are.
