'Outside Mullingar' Off the Shelf at TLT

One night only, Tacoma Little Theatre's Off the Shelf program presents John Patrick Shanley’s, Outside Mullingar, directed by Curt Hetherington.

Anthony and Rosemary are two introverted misfits. Anthony has spent his life on a cattle farm in rural Ireland, a state of affairs that—due to his painful shyness—suits him well. Rosemary lives right next door, determined to have him, watching the years slip away. With Anthony’s father threatening to disinherit him and a land feud simmering between their families, Rosemary has every reason to fear romantic catastrophe. But then these yearning, eccentric souls fight their way toward solid ground and some kind of happiness. Their journey is heartbreaking, funny as hell, and ultimately deeply moving. Outside Mullingar is a compassionate, delightful work about how it’s never too late to take a chance on love.

Outside Mullingar features Peter Cook (Tony), Jed Slaughter (Anthony), Brynne Garman (Aoife), and Alyson Soma (Rosemary).
