The production will take to the National Theatre stage in December.
The National Theatre has unveiled the full casting for John Millington Synge’s play, directed for this revival by Caitríona McLaughlin (Artistic Director of the Abbey Theatre, Dublin).
The full cast will include: Declan Conlon as Old Mahon, Nicola Coughlan as Pegeen Mike, Lorcan Cranitch as Michael Flaherty, Megan Cusack as Susan Brady, Éanna Hardwicke as Christy Mahon, Siobhán McSweeney as Widow Quin and Marty Rea as Shawn Keogh.
They will be joined by Marty Breen as Sara Tansey, Naoise Dunbar as Jimmy Farrell, Matthew Forrest as Philly Cullen, Sallay Garnett as Nelly, Fionnuala Gygax as Honor Blake, Erin Hennessey as Fiddle Player with Susan Akintomide, Peter Mooney and Donncha O’Dea joining the ensemble.
Pegeen Flaherty’s life is turned upside down when, on a normal day, a young man walks into her pub claiming that he’s killed his father.
Instead of being shunned, the killer Christy Mahon becomes a local hero. The welcome murderer wins hearts and races as he beds himself into village life. That is until a second man unexpectedly arrives on the scene…
The creative team behind the production is completed by: set and costume designer Katie Davenport, lighting designer James Farncomb, sound designer Adrienne Quartly, composer Anna Mullarkey and casting directors Alastair Coomer and Naomi Downham.
The production will run at the National Theatre from the 4th December until the 28th February 2026, with opening night set for the 11th December.
