Mayo playwright's new unmissable work on local stage this week

AFTER a sold-out run at the Town Hall Studio in Galway, the widely praised and unmissable new play Outlaw Pete is heading for the Linenhall Arts Centre, Castlebar, this Thursday, May 22.

The Galway run left audiences buzzing and critics full of praise, and now Mayo audiences will have their chance to experience the phenomenon.

Written and directed by acclaimed Mayo playwright Mick Donnellan, this brand-new drama is a raw and riveting exploration of love, loyalty, and deception, set against the backdrop of Ballinrobe.

With the story rooted in Ballinrobe, Outlaw Pete brings home a darkly comic, emotionally rich tale that promises to resonate even more deeply with local theatre-goers.

Written with sharp wit and deep humanity, and brought to life by a stellar cast and production team, Outlaw Pete blends powerful storytelling with unforgettable characters in a show that will leave a lasting impression.

At a critical crossroads in their lives, three complex characters collide: Pete - fresh out of prison and determined to win back Jane; Jane - torn between the past and her present marriage; and Dave - the husband unwilling to let his world unravel.

As tensions mount, Jane begins to question everything, revealing that Dave may not be the perfect husband he seems.

Driven by snappy dialogue, dark humour, and raw emotion, the play builds towards an explosive climax, staying true to Truman Town’s signature intensity.

Following the success of Sunday Morning Coming Down, Tiger Raid, and Galway Blues, Mick Donnellan’s latest work blends gripping storytelling with searing drama, creating an unmissable theatrical experience.

Don’t miss your chance to catch this exceptional production on Mayo soil. Tickets for the Castlebar performance at the Linenhall are available here.
