Nearly a century after its electrifying, riot-causing Dublin premiere, this comedy continues to enthrall audiences with its mock-heroic epic of Christy Mahon, a young and impassioned renegade who bursts into a coastal County Mayo pub one evening with a gloriously, seductive tale of death and destruction, captivating the publican's beautiful daughter and the local regulars. Special discounts for Penn alumni. For tickets and information, call the Box Office at (215) 898-3900 or visit www.PennPresents.org.
