In 2014, Outside Mullingar premiered on the Broadway stage, which tells the story of the sad fate of two lovers who cannot be together because of the long-standing feud between their families. The production became an instant hit and invariably attracted full houses. The play's author J.P. Shanley, an Oscar-winning screenwriter and director, decided to repeat the success of the play and shot a motion picture about contemporary Romeo and Juliet. The cast and plot of the film, dubbed "Wild Couple" (or "Wild Mountain Thyme"), are already known, but there is no trailer yet, and the release date of the tape is scheduled for 2021.
