The Playboy of the Western World and The Shadow of the Glen 2008 - US Tour
J.M. Synge
In October 2008 Druid toured a double bill of our award-winning and critically-acclaimed productions of John Millington Synge’s The Playboy of the Western World and The Shadow of the Glen. These two plays formed the core of DruidSynge, the most universally praised production in Druid’s history.
This double bill was presented in some of the most prestigious theatres in North America and is presented with the support of Culture Ireland. Druid would also like to acknowledge the support of the Galway University Foundation.
