The Beauty Queen of Leenane
By Academy, BAFTA, Olivier, and Tony Award-winning Martin McDonagh
(Plays: The Lieutenant of Inishmore, The Pillowman; Films: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, The Banshees of Inisherin)
The play is set in Leenane, a small town in Connemara, County Galway—in the west of Ireland. 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 comes to a boiling point when the possibility of romance, or even survival, sets in motion a train of tragically funny yet heartbreaking events.
Winner of 4 1998 Tony Awards
CONTENT WARNING: The play features strong language, sexual references, explicit scenes of violence and abuse, and themes of loneliness and mental health.
