In John Patrick Shanley’s Outside Mullingar, Anthony and Rosemary are two introverted misfits who
have seen the back side of 40. Anthony has spent his entire life on a cattle farm in rural Ireland, and
Rosemary lives right next door, watching the years slip away. In this very Irish story with a surprising
depth of poetic passion, these yearning, eccentric souls fight their way towards solid ground and some
kind of happiness. Their journey is heartbreaking, funny as hell, and ultimately deeply moving, in this
compassionate, delightful play about how it’s never too late to take a chance on love.
