London St Martins Theatre The Playboy Of The Western World 1960
An original theatre programme for J. M. Synge’s The Playboy Of The Western World at St Martins Theatre, London, dated 7 November 1960.
Siobhan McKenna headed a strongly Irish cast with Kate Binchy, Ronald Walsh, Eithne Dunne, Finola O’Shannon and Lelia Doolan.
Synge’s comedy follows Christy Mahon, who wins the admiration of a Mayo village by claiming to have killed his father. A lovely piece of theatre memorabilia for collectors of Irish drama on the London stage.
