Prospect Theatre Company makes a welcome return to 59E59 with Irish playwright J.M.Synge's controversial THE PLAYBOY OF THE WESTERN WORLD adapted to a new locale:the foothills of Amercia's Appalachia. This original bluegrass musical is a tale of an unlikely hero, a backwoods romance, and an unfinished murder...it promises to be a pitch-dark comedy with a kick of moonshine!
