The Beauty Queen of Leenane
The darkly comic and unsettling Irish tale by Academy Award-Winner Martin McDonagh
In this darkly comic Irish tale, Maureen is good and stuck in the house she grew up in, caring for her aging mother, Mag. Mag is a nightmare and their mutual antagonism hits a new level when Maureen’s first, and possibly final, chance at love suddenly appears. Who’s most vulnerable? Who’s scheming the most? Who’s crazy? Is anyone? The laughably dysfunctional relationship of these two isolated souls in rural Ireland comes to a boiling point when the possibility of romance, or even survival, sets in motion a train of tragically funny yet heartbreaking events.
RATED PG-13: Contains strong language, sexual references and explicit scenes of violence and abuse
