Hinterland : The Playboy of the Western World
Hinterland is a brand new touring community theatre project created by Robert Power, with the aim to bring theatre out into towns and villages around Ireland. It is made up of a mix of new and experienced performers and theatre makers from Tipperary and its hinterlands in the South East of Ireland.
The group received a fantastic reaction to their first production, J.M Synge’s The Playboy of the Western World, last summer, which included a live traditional music accompaniment. They performed to packed audiences in towns and villages around Tipperary, Waterford and Kilkenny and finished on Inis Meáin in the Aran Islands, a place of great inspiration to the writer.
The incredible reception has encouraged the group to remount the production in 2023 and head out on tour again, with a run of dates which will also include 8 different festivals around the country on the RTÉ All Ireland Drama Festival.
