Playboy Of The West Indies

About

Based on the Irish Classic The Playboy Of The Western World, Mustapha Matura's hilarious reinvention Playboy Of The West Indies has been delighting audiences and critics alike world-wide for over 35 years. Now in this world premiere production the classic play has been transformed into a glorious new musical with a toe-tapping, finger-snapping score firmly rooted in the Caribbean. In Peggy's rum bar in sleepy Mayaro village, a mysterious stranger stumbles in out of the darkness. With a voice like honey he tantalises the women and unnerves the men with a terrible story. As he weaves his magic spell on Peggy, her forthcoming nuptials to Stanley are thrown into doubt, and the village is plunged into uproar. While the women vie for this stranger's attention, the men plot his downfall. Will events conspire to unmask his wild tales of derring-do? With an infectious score by Clement Ishmael (Five Guys Named Moe, The Lion King) and Dominique Le Gendre (Royal Opera House, Talawa Theatre) and co-direction from Nicolas Kent (Grenfell: Value Engineering, Ain't Misbehavin) Playboy Of The West Indies transports you to the Caribbean in this witty, vibrant and joyful new musical. Presented by the Birmingham 2022 Festival.
