The Beauty Queen of Leenane
Description
“Sometimes I dream… of anything! Of anything. Other than this.”
The Beauty Queen of Leenane tells the darkly comic tale of Maureen Folan, a woman in her early forties who lives alone, and Mag her manipulative ageing mother. Mag's interference in Maureen's first and potentially last loving relationship sets in motion a train of events that is as gothically funny as it is horrific.
“McDonagh’s writing is pitiless but compassionate: he casts a cold, hard, but understanding eye on relationships made of mistrust, hesitation, resentment and malevolence" - Sunday Times
- Admission £15 - £30
