Debra Messing, a nice Jewish girl, slides effortlessly into a foursome of otherwise Irish actors in the wistful “Outside Mullingar,”
a new romantic comedy — that is, by the time it resolves an identity
crisis — from award-winning writer John Patrick Shanley (“Doubt”).
A world premiere, “Mullingar” has just opened at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.
That Messing makes for a fine
ensemble actress is hardly astounding. We saw it for eight seasons on
TV's “Will & Grace,” in which she played a neurotic interior
designer, and later in the Broadway-centric “Smash." What is surprising
is how convincingly she plays an Irishwoman in her Broadway debut, which
finds her cast as a thirty-something introvert on a farm in rural
County Westmeath.
