Outlaw Pete

Truman Town Theatre returns with another high-octane, emotionally charged production by acclaimed playwright Mick Donnellan. Set against the backdrop of Ballinrobe, this raw and riveting drama explores love, loyalty, and deception as three complex characters collide. Pete, fresh out of prison, is determined to win back Jane, who is torn between her past and her present marriage to Dave, a 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. From the writer of Sunday Morning Coming Down and Tiger Raid, this unmissable production stars Laura Hutchinson, Brian Cahill, and Carl Jones.
