The Beauty Queen of Leenane

Opens: 19/02/2010 Closes: 13/03/2010 Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh

Before writing the acclaimed film In Bruges, Martin McDonagh established himself as playwright to be reckoned with, penning this award-winning piece about a spinster trapped in a small Irish town with her old mother. Horrific and comedic in equal measure, McDonagh gets to the black heart of family life.
