Outside Mullingar
Old Log Theater
5185 Meadville Street Greenwood
"I don't hate you," says Rosemary to Anthony. "I just don't like you." In John Patrick Shanley's (Doubt, Moonstruck) Tony Award-nominated Outside Mullingar, two introverted neighbors living in rural Ireland have known each other for years, but their lives intersect sharply when a parent dies and property rights come into question. Ultimately a tenderhearted romantic comedy, Shanley's play about new love in middle age has received rave reviews. Charles Isherwood of The New York Times called Outside Mullingar "Shanley's finest work since Doubt," which won the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize in 2005, and inspired the 2008 movie starring Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams. Don't miss this sweet, tender comedy when it makes its regional debut at the Old Log Theater.

Outside Mullingar Reviews
| Star Tribune - Recommended
"...Playwright John Patrick Shanley, an Irish-American best known for excavating his New York roots, sought inspiration across the pond for his newest play, which had its regional premiere at Old Log Theatre last weekend. It’s a sentimental and occasionally maudlin old shoe in which Shanley reckons well the redolent atmosphere of hardtack folk in old age and in love."

"...The Twin Cities premiere of this nominee for last year's "Best Play" Tony is being presented on the shores of Lake Minnetonka by Old Log Theatre, which is giving Shanley's script a sweet, heartfelt and totally believable staging. Built around strong performances by all four of its actors, it's a show that might not deliver a slew of profundities but is an endearing slice of life with plenty of Irish wit and some touching truths."
