Auditions for Outside Mullingar

Set in rural Ireland, Outside Mullingar is a romantic comedy about two introverted neighbors navigating family feuds, stubborn pride, and the possibility of late-blooming love. The dialogue is lyrical, the humor dry, and the characters deeply human.

Characters:

• Anthony Reilly – A quiet, awkward man in his 40s. He works the family farm and carries emotional baggage that makes him hesitant in love.
• Rosemary Muldoon – A strong-willed woman in her 30s or 40s. Fiercely independent and secretly in love with Anthony.
• Tony Reilly – Anthony’s aging father, set in his ways and critical of his son’s future.
• Aoife Muldoon – Rosemary’s mother, practical and honest, dealing with loss and change.

The play calls for natural pacing, Irish dialects, and performers comfortable with dry humor and heartfelt moments. It’s intimate, character-driven, and grounded in emotional authenticity.
