Poster Complete--Three Weeks 'Til Opening Night

Two spiteful and constantly warring brothers—Coleman and Valene Connor—form an uneasy agreement following their father’s recent death. When the local clergyman, Father Welsh, makes the ultimate sacrifice in the hopes of reconciling them, the brothers are forced to reconsider their relationship.

Dark deeds are revealed and a young priest’s soul hangs in the balance.

THE LONESOME WEST is the final instalment in Martin McDonagh’s award-winning Leenane Trilogy. A dark comedy set in the tiny village of Leenane, Ireland, the play is characterized by the searing and often brutal humour for which Martin McDonagh is known.

 “Mr. McDonagh’s great strength is that he combines a love of traditional story-telling with the savage ironic humour of the modern generation....in the extraordinary THE LONESOME WEST, two brothers, one of whom has killed their father, are closeted together in undying hostility like a penned-up Cain and Abel.”

“THE LONESOME WEST ... represents a leap forward in ambition and achievement for McDonagh... [it] offers ... in-depth examination of character and is, in the end, a moving and complicated examination of redemption that might even offer a glimmer—a wee distant glimmer—of hope.”
