Outside Mullingar

Doubt-ers John Patrick Shanley, Doug Hughes, and Brian F. O’Byrne have reassembled for a new show at MTC. Rather than exploring pedophilia, this play describes a more conventional relationship between eccentric farmer Anthony (O’Byrne) and Rosemary (Debra Messing), the neighbor who sets her amorous sights on him.

Thursdays-Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays, 2 p.m.; Tuesdays, Wednesdays, 7 p.m. Starts: Jan. 2. Continues through March 14, 2014
