Father Ted and Mrs. Doyle's take on McDonagh?

This is great. Mrs. Doyle is talking about a famous novelist (Miss Clark) but she could be talking about a McDonagh play. Could be talking about OUR play. Very fitting no?

The Mighty Few

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."  
--Margaret Mead

These are shots from another Martin McDonagh play I directed about five years ago--A Skull in Connemara.















I have great memories of this show and am especially proud of the way it turned out.

We had very few people to help us but everyone was willing to wear multiple hats to pull it off. In the end, we put on an outstanding show.

We are faced with a similar situation now with The Lonesome West. We have a small group of people who have come forward to help us but, once again, people will be asked to wear different hats.

And that's ok. I think we can do it. And I think we will do it well.

Just like we did the last time.
