THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE

In the remote Irish village of Leenane, rain is as common as Catholics and the most exciting past-time is watching cows pass by. Lonely spinster, Maureen, is trapped taking care of her elderly, cantankerous mother, Mag. Together they spend their days in rounds of petty insults and abuse. When Maureen finally discovers romance, things get horribly out of hand. This modern classic is full of clever twists, bitter tragedy and scathing black comedy leading up to its stunning conclusion. Martin McDonagh's Tony Award-winning black comedy unleashes all the dark humor and rich language for which McDonagh has been internationally praised.
