Brian F. O'Byrne, Debra Messing & the Cast of John Patrick Shanley's Outside Mullingar Meet the Press

Rehearsals for the world premiere of Tony and Pulitzer Prize winner John Patrick Shanley's new romantic comedy Outside Mullingar are now in session, and the cast of the upcoming Manhattan Theatre Club production came together on December 3 to meet the press. Directed by Tony winner Doug Hughes, the play tells the story of Anthony (played by Tony winner Brían F. O'Byrne) and Rosemary (played by Emmy winner Debra Messing), neighbors in rural Ireland who are both withdrawn and eccentric. Their families begin feuding, which threatens to keep the two misfits apart. Click below to see O'Byrne and Messing, along with John Aylwar and Dearbhla Molloy, as they take a break from rehearsals to give a preview of their show, then catch them in Outside Mullingar, beginning performances on January 2, 2014 at Broadway's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre!
