Anthony and Rosemary are two introverted Show art by Esser Design. misfits straddling 40. Anthony is painfully shy and has spent his entire life on a cattle farm in rural Ireland. Rosemary lives right next door and is determined to have him – at all costs! She has every reason to fear romantic catastrophe. But these yearning, Show art by Esser Design. eccentric souls fight their way towards solid ground and some kind of happiness. Poetic, uplifting, dark, and funny, Outside Mullingar is a compassionate work about how sometimes the very things we’re looking for happen to be right in front of us the whole time. MEET THE PLAYWRIGHT “John Patrick Shanley (Playwright) is from the Bronx. He was thrown out of St. Helena’s kindergarten. He was banned from St. Anthony’s hot lunch program for life. He was expelled from Cardinal Spellman High School. He was placed on academic probation by New York University and instructed to appear before a tribunal if he wished to return. When asked why he had been treated in this way by all these institutions, he burst into tears and said he had no idea. Then he went into the United States Marine Corps. He did fine. He’s still doing okay.” Such reads the official playwright biography of playwright John Patrick Shanley as provided by Dramatists Play Service, the publisher of Outside Mullingar. John Playwright John Patrick Shanley. Patrick Shanley was born in 1950, the youngest of five children who were raised Irish Catholic in the Bronx. His father was a meatpacker and his mother was a second- generation Irish immigrant in a historical and cultural atmosphere that was known for racism and anti-intellectualism, leading Shanley to get in fights throughout his childhood, though he asserted later in life that he rarely initiated the conflict. 2 Shanley attended the Cardinal Spellman High School for boys, where he spent sufficient time in after-school detention for the school to request his departure within two years. Shanley completed his education at the Thomas Moore school in New Hampshire, where he first began to engage his talent for writing and poetry. After graduation, Shanley attended NYU for a single unsuccessful semester, after which he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corp. Shanley served in the Vietnam War, after which he returned to NYU and graduated as valedictorian in 1977. Shanley then began to write plays, authoring more than a half dozen works by the early 1980s and receiving his first staged production for a collection of one-acts known as Welcome to the Moon in 1982. He worked a series of jobs during his early writing career, including working as an apartment painter, bartender, and elevator operator, until he received a generous NEA grant that allowed him to focus on writing full-time. His first screenplay, Moonstruck, was filmed by director Norman Jewison and starred well-known stars Cher and Nicholas Cage, earning Shanley the 1987 Academy Award for Best Screenplay. Shanley continued to write for Hollywood over the next few years, including screenplays for the films January Man, Joe Versus the Volcano (which Shanley also directed), Alive, and Congo, a retelling of a Michael Crichton bestselling novel. Shanley also remained active in the New York theater community, writing the stage plays Italian American Reconciliation, Beggars in the House of Plenty, Kissing Christine, Missing Marisa, and Where’s My Money, which became Shanley’s first involvement with the LAByrinth Theater Company in New York. Shanley’s films and plays were not particularly successful from a critical standpoint until his 2004 play, Doubt, which opened off- Broadway in November of 2004, receiving both the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play. He has currently authored more than 20 plays that have been performed around the world, and lives and writes in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood of New York City.

Outside Mullingar. of Outside Mullingar. p r o d u c t i o n o f O u t s i d e Mullingar. 3 Tony Reilly: A man of 75 or so in 2008, when the play begins. Anthony Reilly: Tony’s son, in his mid-forties and an intense dreamer. Aoife Muldoon: Tony and Anthony’s elderly neighbor, 70 years old, in somewhat bad health and mourning the recent loss of her husband, Christopher Muldoon. Rosemary Muldoon: Aoife’s daughter, in her mid-to-late 30s. HISTORICAL CONTEXT: TWO GENERATIONS Outside Mullingar portrays the world from the perceptions and memories of two generations: those of the elderly Tony Reilly and Aoife Muldoon, who are in their seventies during the late 2000s, and from the perspectives of their children, Anthony Reilly and Rosemary Muldoon, who are closer to 40 years old during the initial action of the play. Each generation’s respective perspective has been shaped by the different social, economic, and technological circumstances in which the characters grew up, came of age, and grew older. The Silent Generation The older generation of Tony and Aoife – members of the Traditionalist or Silent Generation – would have been born in Ireland around 1935, just over a decade after the partition of Ireland, the Irish War of Independence, and the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921 that provided for the establishment of the Irish Free State (re-established as Ireland in 1937), while Northern Ireland exercised its option to remain as part of the United Kingdom. The world was also in the midst of a global depression that laid the foundation for the rise of fascism and communism in subsequent decades. Ireland in the 1930s was an impoverished country, with the majority of the population occupying small agricultural holdings. Emigration rates were high, particularly to England and the U.S., and difficult economic and living conditions among rural farmers sparked a trend toward urbanization that continued into the 1940s. Urban conditions remained difficult, with Dublin known as the site of some of the most notorious slums in Europe, which posed ongoing social and public health challenges. Ireland remained neutral in World War II, though the nation experienced food rationing and coal shortages induced by the global conflict between the Allied and Axis powers, during which time peat production became an economic priority in Ireland.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Dafina McMillan February 5, 2014 [email protected] 212-609-5955 New from TCG Books: Outside Mullingar by John Patrick Shanley NEW YORK, NY – Theatre Communications Group (TCG) is pleased to announce the publication of John Patrick Shanley’s Outside Mullingar, a compassionate and delightful romantic comedy from the Pulitzer Prize, Tony Award and Oscar-winning author of Doubt. The play is currently enjoying its world premiere, helmed by the Tony Award-winning director, Doug Hughes, at Manhattan Theatre Club, starring Debra Messing and Brían F. O’Byrne. “In the work of John Patrick Shanley, the truth is as charming as it is painful, reality as touched with magic as it is factual and existence as absolute as it is illusory.” — BOMB magazine Outside Mullingar tells the romance of Anthony and Rosemary, neighbors in rural Ireland who are nearing their middle years. It is by turns poetic, uplifting, dark and funny as hell. Anthony is an introverted farmer and Rosemary is the woman who vows to have him at all costs. When Anthony’s father threatens to disinherit his son, Rosemary steps into the middle of a land feud and family eccentricities beyond what one might imagine. On the brink of romantic catastrophe, this one-of-a-kind Irish heroine fights against time and mortality in hopes of securing her dream of love. “Mr. Shanley’s finest work since Doubt…give[s] such consistent pleasure.” — New York Times John Patrick Shanley’s plays include Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, Savage in Limbo and Dirty Story.

    HEALTH RELATED BEHAVIOURS IN ANIMATED MOVIES 1 Representation of Health-related Behaviours in Animated Movies for Children: A Quantitative Content Analysis Benedetta Metafune Student number: 11609133 Master’s program: Persuasive Communication Thesis Supervisor: dr. Barbara Schouten Word Count: 8,426 HEALTH RELATED BEHAVIOURS IN ANIMATED MOVIES 2 Abstract This study aims to investigate how are healthy and unhealthy behaviours represented in animated movies for children from 1937 to 2018. A sample of 30 movies was systematically selected and content-analysed. The analysis revealed that unhealthy behaviours were overrepresented compared to healthy behaviours. Additionally, the characters who performed both healthy and unhealthy behaviours were more likely to be positive characters rather than negative characters. Furthermore, healthy and unhealthy behaviours were represented mainly visually instead of auditory or visually and auditory simultaneously. Lastly, healthy behaviours were more likely to be portrayed with a positive valence, while unhealthy behaviours were more likely to be portrayed with a negative valence. Interestingly, my study suggests that parents and educators should not prevent their children from watching animated movies, although adults’ supervision is always recommended. Keywords: healthy behaviours, unhealthy behaviours, positive characters, villains, modality, valence, animated movies, children.
