Beauty Queen of Leenane

Set in the mountains of Connemara in the West of Ireland, this eerily gothic comedy tells the story of Maureen Folan, a lonely spinster in early middle age, and her domineering mother, who desperately tries to destroy her daughter’s one chance for love and happiness. The tempestuous struggle sets in motion a chain of events that lead to the play’s shocking final scene. McDonagh brings his exceptional gifts of uncanny observation and savage humor to this brilliant work.
