The image shows a young man in the foreground wearing a distinctive tan/beige patterned sweater vest over a white shirt, sitting in what looks like a contemplative or somewhat uncertain pose. Behind him, visible through what appears to be a window or glass partition, are several other people including a woman in a striking red/burgundy textured jacket on the left.

About NT Live: The Playboy Of The Western World

Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton) joins Éanna Hardwicke (The Sixth Commandment) and Siobhán McSweeney (Derry Girls) 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.

Please note: the screening on Sunday 31st May includes descriptive subtitles.

  2. Three people in high-visibility safety vests working together to move what appears to be a large white cylindrical object, possibly a wind turbine blade component, along a road at sunset or sunrise. The scene is set in what looks like a rural or desert area with rolling hills in the background and dramatic golden lighting.
