The Beauty Queen of Leenane
The Beauty Queen of Leenane
Written by Martin McDonagh
Directed by Mark Goggins
?Sometimes I dream? of anything! Of anything. Other than this.?
In the mountains of Connemara, County Galway, Maureen Folan ? a plain, lonely woman, tied to her manipulative and ageing mother, Mag ? comes alive at her first and possibly last prospect of a new life. But Mag has other ideas; and her interference sets in motion a train of events that leads inexorably towards the play?s breathtaking conclusion.
The Beauty Queen of Leenane is one of playwright Martin McDonagh?s (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, The Lieutenant of Inishmore) finest achievements. Winner of four Tony Awards on Broadway and nominated for an Olivier Award, the play conjures up the unbearable tension and loneliness of an isolated.
A dark, comedic, thriller.
Warning: This production includes scenes of violence, cruelty and strong language. The production also contains sexual references and themes of loneliness, abuse and mental health.
